Dear to all Developers,

Please add 7 Segment VFDs support even if it's just turning on display with BOOT displayed, this will assist in showing that the device is powered.

Kind regards,

Based on the information you provided, I feel it should work in the 5.4 kernel. According to the compilation method in the article, You can pull it into the kernel source code and try to compile it.
