Adds panel_ic_type 77 (ep42r3_400x300, DEPG0420 / GDEY042Z98, SSD1683 B/W/R) to config.yaml and a matching 400x300 BWR display preset, as fitted to some RockBase IoT NM-EPD-420 boards. Requires firmware that maps panel IC 0x004D to bb_epaper's EP42R3_400x300.

config.yaml: addpanel_ic_type77,ep42r3_400x300.simple-config-presets.json: add theep42r-400x300preset, "4.2" BWR GDEY042Z98 (400×300)": 84×63 mm active area,color_scheme1 (bwr), full updates only.simple-config-id-registry.json: registerep42r-400x300as index 47.Testing
On an NM-EPD-420 with a GDEY042Z98 panel, running the firmware from OpenDisplay/Firmware#173:
tools/od-device-cli.py encode-config, then flashed it as a factory embed. BLE scanning wasn't available on the test machine, so it wasn't written through the toolbox's Bluetooth path.Unrelated note
config.yamldocumentssystem_config.device_flagsbit 5 (0x20) aschannel_sounding, but the NM-EPD-420 driver preset setsdevice_flags: 0x20and the firmware reads that bit asDEVICE_FLAG_NM420_INIT(the boot log printsDevice flag DEVICE_FLAG_NM420_INIT is set, calling nm420_init()). One of the two is out of date. I haven't changed it here.
