IMO it makes sense to have these in the device tree. These values need
to be adjusted if you have glass or acrylics in front of the touch
glass. The defaults are tailored to the touchscreen without any
(additional) material in front of it.

So manufacturers need to provide different defaults depending on the way
a specific device is built. So these properties can be viewed in the
same way you specify display resolution or display type in the device tree.
