Why isn't this in panels directory?

Do not explain for a binding that it is a binding. Redundant. Instead
describe the hardware.

Drop, already part of panel.

Drop description as well.

Not much improved. How is this called in every other binding? panel.

Messed indentation.

And here is even more confusing.

Hmmm, unless this is not a panel, but it looks like a panel and
description partially suggests it. Other sitronix devices are split
between these two, but OTOH your driver is more complex than just simple
panel.
Your commit msg is one sentence and binding description is basically
non-existing, so not sure how to help. You need to describe the hardware
so people understand what this device is.
Best regards,
Krzysztof

I've counted this as a display, but the border is not crystal
clear, and, as you say, other Sitronix devices are split between the two.
It is a controller/driver for a LCD panel.

I've prepared this description for the next version of the patch:
description:
Sitronix ST7571 is a driver and controller for up to 4-level gray
scale dot-matrix LCD panels.
It drives 128 segment outputs and 128+1 common outputs.
It provides several system interfaces like SPI, I2C and 8-bit parallel bus.
But still, it is not obvious if I should move it to panel or not.

Otherwise, seems okay.
