Hi,
  Based on my discussion in IRC with Michael Balmer, I can develop a
driver for I2C based LCD device during GSoC period. This driver will
provide a tty like interface. I will extend this to a LCD framework
after GSoC period as it seems to be a bigger task.

Regards,
Dinesh Rathinasamy Thangavel
