That should not be true.  sdhci.c will not send a command to the
card if the card is not present i.e. see this excerpt from
sdhci_request():


	/* If polling, assume that the card is always present. */
	if (host->quirks & SDHCI_QUIRK_BROKEN_CARD_DETECTION)
		present = true;
	else
		present = sdhci_readl(host, SDHCI_PRESENT_STATE) &
				SDHCI_CARD_PRESENT;

	if (!present || host->flags & SDHCI_DEVICE_DEAD) {
		host->mrq->cmd->error = -ENOMEDIUM;
		tasklet_schedule(&host->finish_tasklet);
