- Standardized keyboard input using Unicode-based key codes across supported devices and the simulator. Keyboards don't emit `LV_KEY_*` anymore.
- Refactored lilygo encoder driver into a reusable GPIO rotary encoder driver (see `Drivers/gpio-encoder-module/`). Added more features to the config file.
- Improved LVGL keyboard device management, including duplicate prevention and reliable reconnects.
- LVGL file mutex now registers with lvgl start/stop
- Improved LVGL startup/shutdown stability and memory allocation reliability.
- Increased simulator LVGL memory capacity and improved USB device-class handling.
- 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).
