OK I can move it there.

Creating that for a single driver seems weird, I could just as well
create drivers/lcd for all LCDs in that case. But there is another
LCD-like driver for a USB-connected LCD under drivers/misc
IIRC, maybe I can make a patch for that as well and let the misc
maintainer decide if he wants it.
