[PATCH v8 0/6] Raspberry Pi Sense HAT driver

From: Charles Mirabile
Date: Tue Apr 12 2022 - 19:27:22 EST


This patch series adds a set of drivers for operating the Sense HAT
peripheral device. This board is an add on for the Raspberry Pi that is
designed to connect using the GPIO connector and communicate via I2C.

It features:
- a joystick
- an 8x8 RGB LED matrix display
- a whole bunch of environmental sensors with their own drivers
(those are already in upstream Linux)

This is a refactor of the work of Serge Schneider, the author of a
version of this driver that is currently in the Raspberry Pi downstream
kernel. We modified his code to make it suitable for upstream Linux.

A couple of tests are available for the driver in the test folder in
this repo: https://github.com/underground-software/sensehat.git
- sensehat_joystick_test logs the input events from the
joystick to the console
- sensehat_display_test displays various solid colors on
the LED panel.
- full_sensehat_test displays a single lit cell that can be
moved with the joystick. Pressing the joystick ends the
program.

Changes since v7:
- Added missing error checks to sensehat-display and
sensehat-joystick probe functions (allocation failure,
and failure to get regmap)
- Propogated potential error from regmap write out of
the update display function so that an innability to
connect with hardware can be detected during probe
- Changed the userspace format back to individual bytes
one per color channel, three per pixel. They are now
arranged as rgb triples instead of the native format
for the hardware.
- Thanks to Miguel Ojeda for these suggestions.
