I have done some research and found this:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Texas_Instruments_PCI1620_Cardbus_Controller_with_a_4_in_1_memory_card_reader

It mentions:
"Pata driver (works only with kernel >=2.6.22) is basically the pata_pcmcia.c module available in the vanilla kernel with the data transfer function customized to perform the transfer on 8 bits instead of the default 16 bits (the only problem that prevents pata_pcmcia to work with this device)."

So it would seem the existing driver could work if this fix was implemented, somehow.

I have not been able to try this as my knowledge in compiling drivers in Linux is limited.
