An LCD driver would need to provide the framebuffer interface on the top
side.
The cirrus driver in the pc386 BSP is a recent example of that.

If the LCD is accessed through GPIO than the LCD driver will turn out to be
layered on top of GPIO code and Andre's code will definitely be useful for
how to do that.
