LCD Screen on `nqm-britannic-brski` #7

The nqm-britannic-brski Raspberry Pi (which we're using as a server/controller for the demo) has an MHS3528 attach to it.

Unfortunately, their official instructions are underwhelming, and don't work on Ubuntu, or new Raspbian images, or 64-bit OSes.

Tbh, the touch screen drivers seem useless, but the display may be useful.

It looks like the LCD driver is an Ilitek ILI9486, which has official support in the Linux kernel, see drivers/gpu/drm/tiny/ili9486.c, even in the Linux kernel 5.15!

The important question is how to enable it, sudo modprobe ili9486 prints SPI driver ili9486 has no spi_device_id for waveshare,rpi-lcd-35 in dmesg, so I might need to do some config to get it working.
