Is waveshare 3.5inch_RPi_LCD supported?

[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？

The official documents follows there steps:

1. 2017-03-02-raspbian-jessie and later Raspbian driver: http://www.waveshare.net/w/upload/7/74/LCD-show-170309.tar.gz
2. other versions : http://www.waveshare.net/w/upload/4/4b/LCD-show-161112.tar.gz

Then we put the download file into /boot, then run the following commands:

cd LCD-show/
