Most drivers are in directories based on the software interface, but
as you explained, the driver does not interface with anything so far.

Other display drivers are under drivers/video. If it makes sense
to use the display as the console, you could put it in
drivers/video/console/. Another option would be to make it
a tty and move it to driver/char.
