I agree this number of wrappers is excessive, and a smaller API (and
pixel based with scrolling, finally) would be great. But perhaps keep 1
or 2 of the most simple wrappers (if they're also the most common one)
as calling functions with a large number of parameters does have a
binsize impact (and there's a large number of callers). Not to mention
the inconvinience for the most simple cases.

Perhaps

void lcd_puts(int x, int y, const char* text);
void lcd_putsf(int x, int y, const char* fmt, ...);
void lcd_putsf_ex(int x, int y, int xcrop, int style, bool scrolled,
const char* fmt, ...);

?

Best regards.
