Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
When using a high gear ratio stepper motor such as the 28BYJ-48 with an tmc2209 stepper driver(minimum microstepping 1/8)
the 1000steps/second cap of the stepper component makes it impossible to rotate the stepper at a resonable pase.
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
I'm trying to use this motor driver combo for a quiet smart blind setup.

Research direction
Start by locating the stepper component and the code enforcing its 1000-steps/second cap. Review how the component handles microstepping and the TMC2209 use case, then determine how higher step rates could be supported without breaking existing behavior. Done means the 28BYJ-48 with a TMC2209 can rotate at a practical speed for the described blind setup.
