The Holtek HT16K33 LED controller is not only used for driving
dot-matrix displays, but also for driving segment displays.

Document compatible values for the Adafruit 7-segment[1] and
14-segment[2] FeatherWing expansion boards with red displays.  According
to the schematics, all other Adafruit 7-segment and 14-segment display
backpack and FeatherWing expansion boards (including bare boards and
boards fitted with displays) are compatible with these two boards.
Add a "color" property to support the different color variants.

v2:
  - Fix type of color to uint32,
  - "refresh-rate-hz" is still required for dot-matrix displays.

Alternatives I considered:
  1. Document the attached display type in a child node.
     I.e. specify segment type, number of characters, and wiring.
     Especially the latter would become really complex, due to the sheer
     amount of possible wiring combinations.
     Using this method, you also loose the ability to just connect a
     display to an i2c bus, and instantiate the device from sysfs,
     without using DT:

	echo adafruit,3130 0x70 > /sys/class/i2c/i2c-adapter/.../new_device

  2. Do not use the "color" property, but document all Adafruit
     7-segment and 14-segment display backpack and FeatherWing expansion
     boards.
     This would lead to a myriad of compatible values:

	  - enum:

These 2 entries can be combined. Or make the comment a 'description'.

Hi Rob,

Note that you commented on v2, while I posted v3 yesterday.

Right.  This split dates back from when I considered adding all
possible compatible values.  It can indeed be simplified to:

          - enum:
              - adafruit,3108  # 0.56" 4-Digit 7-Segment FeatherWing
Display (Red)
              - adafruit,3130  # 0.54" Quad Alphanumeric FeatherWing
Display (Red)
          - const: holtek,ht16k33

> Or make the comment a 'description'.

It is false if there is more than one compatible value.

Sorry, I still don't get it.
Note that there are two different adafruit,NNNN compatible values.
