[PATCH 0/3 1/3] auxdisplay: line-display: add devm_linedisp_register()

[kr494167@gmail.com]

From: Surendra Singh Chouhan <kr494167@gmail.com>

Add devm_linedisp_register() to manage character line display registration
via devres. This simplifies driver cleanup and prevents use-after-free
bugs when unregistering line displays on driver detach.
