Is waveshare 3.5inch_RPi_LCD supported? #3

Description

@andrewleo

We can change the boot/config to support waveshare-7inch-hdmi-lcd-c, but it is too big for the rpi.
I wonder if rtandroid can support waveshare 3.5inch_RPi_LCD ? Or whether you have a plan to support it?

    Please feel free to create a config for 3.5" LCD and send me a pull request. I don't have this LCD myself, so I can't set it up.

    waveshare 3.5inch_RPi_LCD can be supported if we install the corresponding driver in the Raspbian or Ubuntu, while waveshare-7inch-hdmi-lcd-c is driver free.
    I am a newbie to driver so I do not have confidence to achieve it. :(
    Do you have some suggestions or documents?
