[En-Nut-Discussion] discussing changes in hd44780.c for a 4x20 display

[Ole Reinhardt]

Hello Tim,

Me I had the same experience too. There are so many display controllers
out there all more or less compatible with the old hd44780 scheme. Even
me I had three different display / address mappings during my
development experience.

I agree with you that we should think about a more generic character to
address calculation routine and move the address calculation completely
into the device driver.

If Harald agree I'd like to change this and commit the changed into cvs.
This hopefully should not brake too much code.

Bye,

Ole
