New driver for specific device

Thank you for such a great little video driver!

It's working great, but I was wondering if I could request a specific resolution.

800x480 @ 60 100X60 character and/or 50X30 character

This is for a rc2014 vt100 being used with with a 7" 800x480 ebay special Pi monitor.

Thank you!

Edited character counts because I can't do math

OK, just hunting down the timing info. If you have any input regarding this please drop a note.

This is what I found when trying to rewrite the code myself.

Horizontal: front porch=40, sync width=48, back porch=40, display=800 Vertical: front porch=13, sync width=3, back porch=29, display=480 Dot clock: 40 MHz

I found another project, using the timing below

Horizontal geometry: Scan rate: 31.5 kHz Active: 800 pixels Front porch: 64 pixels Sync width: 80 pixels Back porch: 56 pixels Total: 1000 pixels | Vertical geometry: Refresh rate: 60Hz Active: 480 lines Front porch: 28 lines Sync width: 3 lines Back porch: 14 lines

Total: 525 lines

I think that works out to a 31.5MHz pixel clock
