I agree, this change seems reasonable!

Perhaps, from clarification point of view, we should change from
naming it "combo" commands to *sequence* of commands. Both in the code
and in the change log, please.

As __mmc_blk_ioctl_cmd() already does mmc_get_card(), you don't need
mmc_claim_host() here.

As __mmc_blk_ioctl_cmd() already does mmc_put_card(), you don't need
mmc_release_host() here.

Change to mmc_get_card().

Don't forget to build with this configuration as well, I don't think
you have. :-)
