While integrated in the panel module, the backlight is a separate piece of 
hardware, which could be controlled through other means (I2C for instance). 
Wouldn't it be better to add an explicit DT node for the backlight device and 
reference that node from the panel node ?

Yes, I agree, but do we have the infrastructure or bindings for that?

Ah, I see we now do have a gpio-backlight driver, but it doesn't have DT
bindings.
