I have written some Ada packages and test programs for the Sense HAT.  The platform independent sensor drivers are in libsimpleio:

http://git.munts.com/libsimpleio/ada/

The platform dependent code is in MuntsOS:

http://git.munts.com/arm-linux-mcu/examples/ada

My code use the i2c-dev interface rather than kernel drivers.  I had to reverse engineer the display and joystick from the AVR firmware source code.

I primarily target my own embedded Linux distribution, MuntsOS, but the test programs all run on Raspbian as well.
