The forthcoming OCTEON SOC Compact Flash driver needs a few more

Sorry for failing to notice this before but t6z is again the timing
that the host can't control. Therefore I'm seeig no sense in its
addition.
The host cannot control t6z, but in some cases (like ours) it needs to
be aware of its value. We cannot start driving the bus for access to
other devices until the CF stops driving it. We need to know how long
to wait until it is safe to use the bus for other things.
I don't know how your driver is going to use it -- but most
probably incorrectly...
Thanks for that vote of confidence.
