Hi Rob.

Thanks for starting the conversion of panel bindings to yaml.

Good idea.

Better let it point to the .yaml variant, so this patchset does not
depend on too much other bindings to be converted.
Then we can start the conversion of the remaining panel bindings.
Any tooling that helps the conversions?

When this hits upstream I assume all future panel bindings shall be yaml
based - so we have a few pending contributions that need to do something.

For the actual conversion below:
