Exactly. It's the base register interface of most if not all modern
Cardbus bridges.

I would try to find a product using the chip already and do some
tests with the peripherals you need. Worst case get some samples
and build a simple PCI->Cardbus design of your own.

The PCI ID is listed in the yenta_socket driver though, so it might
just work.
