commit 7683e9e529258d01ce99216ad3be21f59eff83ec
 Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>
 Date:   Sun Jul 23 16:06:21 2017 -0700
 
     Properly alphabetize MAINTAINERS file
     
     This adds a perl script to actually parse the MAINTAINERS file, clean up
     some whitespace in it, warn about errors in it, and then properly sort
     the end result.
     
     My perl-fu is atrocious, so the script has basically been created by
     randomly putting various characters in a pile, mixing them around, and
     then looking it the end result does anything interesting when used as a
     perl script.

    auxdisplay: Move panel.c to drivers/auxdisplay folder
    
    It looks like panel.c belongs to auxdisplay subsystem.
    
    Move it to drivers/auxdisplay folder.
    No functional changes intended.
