FYI - This is informational only. It may or may not apply to your case. The PCI spec does not require all latency timers are writable. Latency Timers are only required to be writable for PCI bus masters, and then only if they burst more than two data phases, however for any bus master device that bursts 16 or less data phases the register may be read only.
Check to see if this device is a bus master. Mine (on this machine in a Via 8235 chipset) reports that it is not. Having a latency timer of 0 says that when the system removes the PCI bus grant that this device reports it will release the bus immediately. It may or may not actually do that, but this is the value it reports.
