This implies you are putting linux settings into DT rather than
describing the h/w. I'm not saying the binding is wrong, but documenting
it this way makes it seem so.
One important piece missing (and IIRC linux doesn't really support) is
defining the pixel format of the interface.

Should this use the clock binding? You probably need both constraints
and clock binding though.
Often you don't know the frequency up front and/or have limited control
of the frequency (i.e. integer dividers). Then you have to adjust the
margins to get the desired refresh rate. To do that, you need to know
the ranges of values a panel can support. Perhaps you just assume you
can increase the right-margin and lower-margins as I think you will hit
pixel clock frequency max before any limit on margins.
