[PATCH] auxdisplay: panel: Remove unused callback binding code

From: Miles Krause via B4 Relay

Date: Sun Jul 12 2026 - 21:10:11 EST


From: Miles Krause <mileskrause5200@xxxxxxxxx>

panel_bind_callback() has been compiled out with #if 0 since it was
introduced and has no callers. Remove the dead function to reduce
maintenance burden.

No functional change.
