EPD refreshes are extremely slow; they take anywhere between hundreds of
milliseconds and several seconds. To avoid blocking userspace, perform
these refreshes on a separate thread. The thread will also take care of
initializing the display before first use and clearing it when the CRTC
is disabled.
