Thanks Lars, CC'ing Geert since he wrote a large portion of this, as
well as Andy.

From a cursory look (sorry, not doing it inline since it is a pain to
edit in this UI given the size...):
* panel.c doesn't compile since lcd_backlight's return type did not
get updated, which makes me uneasy. I am not sure why you changed the
return type anyway, since callers ignore it and callees always return
0.
* Declared and then immediately defined hd44780_common in the header...?
* Some things (e.g. the addition of enums like charlcd_onoff) seem
like could have been done other patches (since they are not really
related to the reorganization).
* From checkpatch.pl: DOS line endings and trailing whitespace

I am not capable of testing this, so extra testing by anyone who has
the different hardware affected around is very welcome.

Cheers,
Miguel
