We could, but that would be redundant. Panels need to be represented by
a specific compatible string anyway, and that compatible string implies
the video timings, bits-per-color, width and height.
Also there's more to panels than just the timings or dimensions. Power
up and power down sequences are also implied by the compatible stirng.
Describing all of that in the device tree was at some point attempted,
but in the end it turned out too complicated and we ended up with what
we have now.
