Summary
This PR adds support for passing a
madctl
parameter to theILI9341
driver, allowing developers to directly control hardware rotation via the MADCTL register.It also preserves support for BGR/RGB selection and inversion.
Motivation
Currently, display rotation relies on displayio’s software-based handling, which can be inefficient.
By exposing MADCTL, developers can take advantage of the LCD controller’s built-in rotation logic, which improves performance (especially for OnDiskBitmaps).
