Async API?

[avsaase]

Hi, thanks for making this driver crate.

Are there plans for adding an async API to this crate? embedded-hal is working towards a 1.0 release which has async version of the traits used in this crate. Using these traits makes it much nicer to work with this crate when using the Embassy framework.

Would you be open to a PR that adds an async API? Now that embedded-hal has reached the release candidate phase it's less likely there will be breaking changes going forward so the maintenance burden shouldn't be too high.

This is an old issue, but I had the same problem.

I have created a (currently private) fork of this repo and adjusted lib.rs to use embedded-hal-async's interface instead of embedded-hal. I'm happy to publish the fork as a standalone crate or make a PR with an async feature for this repository/crate.

@juliangaal Are you interested in such a PR? If so, do you have a preference between a modified lib.rs behind the async feature or would you prefer an approach with something like maybe_async (I haven't yet looked into maybe_async closely, but would be happy to)?
