    Plugin to write to an LCD display connected via I2C.
    Adafruit I2C/SPI LCD Backback is supported.

    Warning: You might need a level shifter (that supports i2c) between the
    SCL/SDA connections on the MCP chip / backpack and the Raspberry Pi.

    Otherwise, you might damage the Pi and possibly any other 3.3V i2c devices
    connected on the i2c bus. Or cause reliability issues.

    The SCL/SDA are rated 0.7*VDD on the MCP23008, so it needs 3.5V on the
    SCL/SDA when 5V is applied to drive the LCD.

    The MCP23008 and MCP23017 needs to be connected exactly the same way as the
    backpack.

    For complete schematics see the adafruit page at:
    https://learn.adafruit.com/i2c-spi-lcd-backpack/

    4-bit operations. I2C only supported.
