The driver should hold a pointer to tm1637_params_t. Not a copy.

I based my works on the hd44780 driver. Why should my driver hold a pointer while the other keeps a copy of the parameters? Wouldn't the pointer method lead to problems with the lifetime of the parameter struct because it is managed by the user?

No need to repeat mistakes of the past ;)

Having a copy in RAM results having to spent precious RAM on it in addition to having to spent precious flash on it. With a pointer you only need to pay sizeof(void *) in RAM in addition to the ROM price.

The meaning of these values is unclear to me. I assume they are fractions of full brightness, but the doc does not say this. If they are fractions, why are some values skipped?

This should be addressed in the newest commit.
