So IIRC the issue here was making the ordering of the channels
more flexible?  

We should be able to do that using the names in DT.

Right now the touch screen driver just grabs them all an assumes
a particular order, but if you look at the binding it requires naming

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/input/touchscreen/resistive-adc-touch.txt

That naming should associate 'which channel' is which when
we then do the get_all() in the driver.  If it matches the existing
layout, nothing to do, but if we have something more complex then
we can do data shuffling etc in the touchscreen driver to compensate
for that.

A useful starting point is probably to do a yaml conversion of
that binding doc.  Then follow that up by making the doc more flexible
so that it copes with what you want to do. 

That should give us a good basis on which to then implement the
handling in driver (which is often easier than defining the binding!)
