Previously this only enabled SPI causing issues with auto detecting the connected board ("Failed to detect an Inky board."), now it enables I2C as well.

See: https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspi-config/blob/master/raspi-config#L973-L975 for config parameters, essentially setting it to 0 enables I2C.

before

(pimoroni) sayan@zero ~/i/examples (main)> ./identify.py

No display EEPROM detected,
you might have an old Inky board that doesn't have an EEPROM - eg: early Inky pHAT boards.

Try running examples with --colour <black/red/yellow>

Or writing your code using:

from inky.phat import InkyPHAT

display = InkyPHAT("<black/red/yellow>")

after

(pimoroni) sayan@zero ~/i/examples (main)> ./identify.py
