kinda found a fix for this (at least in my case) i had /dev/lcd but in dmesg i
was getting panel0 but no panel device so i cd's into /dev/ then ./MAKEDEV panel
and it will create a panel0 device chmod 766 then changed /etc/paneld.conf from

.banner="/etc/paneld/banner.sh";
.devname="hd44780";
.devnode="/dev/lcd";

to 

.banner="/etc/paneld/banner.sh";
.devname="hd44780";
.devnode="/dev/panel0";


then started paneld and boom worked :) hope this helps someone
