* Low level driver for Tytera MD380 display, which is has an HX8302-A controller.
* Actually, no datasheet for the display controller exists on the internet,
* however a fairly compatible chip, for which datasheet exists, is the HX8353-E.
*
*********************** HOW TO MANAGE FRAMEBUFFER *****************************
*
* This driver allocates the framebuffer as a block of memory addressed linearly
* as an array of SCREEN_HEIGHT*SCREEN_WIDTH 16-bit variables.
* With respect to it, screen is indexed in this way:
*
* (0,0)
* +-------> x
* |
* | o (X,Y)
* |
* v
* y
*
* then to set the value of the pixel having coordinates (X,Y), framebuffer has
* to be indexed in this way buf[X + Y*SCREEN_WIDTH].
*

/**
* This function initialises the display, configures TIM8 for backlight control
* and allocates framebuffer on the heap. After initialisation, backlight is
* set to zero.
* NOTE: framebuffer allocation is the first operation performed, if fails an
* error message is printed on the virtual COM port and this function returns
* prematurely, without configuring the display and the backlight timer. Thus, a
* dark screen can be symptom of failed allocation.
