Feat implement pca9632

Hello.
I have written new driver for i2c PWM driver chip. I hope that will be useful for community

Thanks. A review request has been made.

Uhm @trombik do you know if @UncleRus is ok?
No contributions since July 2024. I am starting to worry about him

I feel the same thing. It was a few weeks ago when I saw him "star"ed some projects in my GitHub timeline. No his activities since then.

Here is a comment as a contributor (I have some permissions on this repository such as merging).

I don't have private communication with the repository owner. I don't know what is happening to him.

I did contribute to the repository, in many cases, CI and ESP8266 support. There are many unresolved issues and PRs, but I am not qualified to resolve them because I don't own chips in question and have no expertise in the chips.

I have been in a difficult situation since the last year. I'm supposed to update the I2C library so that the drivers can be used with IDF 5.x. However, I need to survive and make ends meet. I'm a hardcore supporter of free software but it doesn't produce any money.

What I can think of is, merging any pending PRs that passed the CI. I cannot review them but if we could assume that it's user's responsibility to report any issues relating to the merges,it would be a sensible option.

I think that that's the best option right now for this project. I can guarantee that driver mentioned in this PR works, I am using it in my home automation firmware for cheap and minimal RGB strip driver:

In Poland we have mature open source home automation project: SUPLA you can try it. There are even commercial devices that supports it: https://supla.zamel.com/produkty/

It is sad to read that. I've seen that you have your own Makerspace in Cambodia - it looks very nice. Is it possible to help you with your troubles somehow?
