WAIT States from eSPI device

There are situations when the device cannot predict the length of the command packet from the controller. For non-posted transactions, the device is allowed to respond with a limited number of WAIT states.

A WAIT state is a 1-byte response code. They must be the first set of response byte from the device after the TAR cycles.
