- RGB display driver added
- display_driver API:
- Added software-based display rotation for screens without hardware rotation support.
- Improved display capability detection across supported display drivers.
- lvgl_display driver:
- Improved framebuffer handling for smoother, more reliable display updates.
- Display gap and rotation behavior now adapts more accurately to hardware capabilities.
- Migration Crowpanel 5" basic & advance to kernel drivers
- Improve KernelDisplay app: brightness controls are hidden for displays that only support on/off operation
- device.py now allows for (non-ambiguous) partial device IDs
- TactilityKernel: Implement more tests
- Added modular device support and devicetree bindings for ILI9341, ILI9488, CST816S, XPT2046, and GPIO button input, updating several board configurations for display/touch/backlight/keyboard/battery.
- Added a setting to control deprecated HAL usage (device property + Kconfig).
- Add kernel support for SPI driver
- Add kernel support for UART driver
- Implemented ESP32 UART kernel driver
- Update existing UART-related code in Tactility to use new kernel driver
- Remove UART from tt::hal::Configuration
- Remove tt_hal_uart functionality but keep functions for now
- Update devicetrees for UART changes
- Kernel mutex and recursive mutex: improved locking API design
- Other kernel improvements
- Added device_exists_of_type() and device_find_by_name()
* **New Features**
* Added public accessors for querying module/device start and ready state.
* **Refactor**
* Internal state moved to opaque internal objects; module/device/driver initializers now explicitly initialize internal pointers.
* Lifecycle handling updated to construct/destruct internal state and use accessors.
* **Tests**
* Tests updated to use public accessors and explicit construct/destruct lifecycle calls.
* **Chores**
* Test build/include paths and small metadata updated.
