Add support for IT8951 based displays #31

Closed fimad closed 4 years ago

fimad commented 4 years ago

I've tested this with a 6 inch display that uses the IT8951 controller board with both VNC and terminal and it seems to work well. I haven't tested with a 9 inch display but there isn't anything display specific in the driver (that I'm aware of) so it should just work.

Despite also being a SPI device there doesn't appear to actually be that much in common between this driver and the other display drivers so I ended up sub-classing from DisplayDriver instead of WaveshareEPD which has some SPI and GPIO bootstrapping.

Thank you so much for this awesome contribution! Makes me want to order one of the new 10.3" displays to try it out ;) I also appreciate the clarifying comments in the code.

I merged this now and will update the project README to mention it.
