Sorry, I was confused with channels and co-ordinate readouts.

Each of X, Y and pressure(Z) readouts will correspond to certain tscadc
steps. So, what I have in mind is:

ti,open-delay = <0x30 0x100 0x20>; /* for X, Y, Z */

For Steps that represents X co-ordinate readouts set opendelay = 0x30.
For Steps that correspond to Y co-ordinate readouts set opendelay =
0x100 and similarly for 0x20 for Z.

This is will provide flexibility to configure open-delay independently
for X, Y and Z
