[v3,1/4] auxdisplay: Add 7-segment LED display driver
Commit Message
Add a driver for a 7-segment LED display. At the moment only one
character is supported but it should be possible to expand this to
support more characters and/or 14-segment displays in the future.

Notes:
Changes in v3:
- "7 segment" -> "7-Segment" in Kconfig help text
- Update after feedback from Andy
- Use compatible = "gpio-7-segment" as suggested by Rob
Changes in v2:
- Rebased on top of auxdisplay/for-next dropping unnecessary code for 7
segment maps.
- Update for new linedisp_register() API
- Include headers based on actual usage
- Allow building as module
- Use compatible = "generic-gpio-7seg" to keep checkpatch.pl happy

Without the zeroing above GCC complains about use of a potentially
uninitialized variable here. I think because bitmap_set_value8() does &=
and |=.

Hmm... Rasmus, Yury, do we have any ideas how to get rid of this redundancy?

DECLARE_BITMAP(values, 8) = { 0 };

Actually do I need to? I'm not using anything in map_to_7segment.h,
that's all taken care of in the line-display code.

Oops no I still need it for map_to_seg7().
