I think you should elaborate here why the behaviour between -EINVAL and
-EPERM is different as they are both errors. In other words, add your
comment about how the ADB code is checking for a supported command.

The change is fine with me, but I agree with Seshagiri's comment that
instead of the above, move the following test to the mmc_blk_ioctl_cmd
and mmc_blk_ioctl_multi_cmd functions:

if ((!capable(CAP_SYS_RAWIO)) || (bdev != bdev->bd_contains))
                return -EPERM;

There is a case statement that then would return -EINVAL if the command
is not supported.

If you look at V3 of the patch "mmc: block: Add new ioctl to send multi
commands" [0] this is how we had it and only in V4 (the final version)
did we move it.

Cheers
Jon
