[PATCH 3/3] drm/sitronix/st7571-i2c: Add support for the ST7567 Controller

The Sitronix ST7567 is a monochrome Dot Matrix LCD Controller that has SPI,
I2C and parallel interfaces. The st7571-i2c driver only has support for I2C
so displays using other transport interfaces are currently not supported.

The DRM_FORMAT_R1 pixel format and data commands are the same than what
is used by the ST7571 controller, so only is needed a different callback
that implements the expected initialization sequence for the ST7567 chip.
