Yeah, good question. Just now when I went looking for who
used SMU_I2C_TRANSFER_COMBINED, I found the only caller in
arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/low_i2c.c and it is clearly using a
fall-through for building the command for "stdsub" and "combined",
so I think that's justification enough:

        switch(bus->mode) {
        case pmac_i2c_mode_std:
                if (subsize != 0)
                        return -EINVAL;
                cmd->info.type = SMU_I2C_TRANSFER_SIMPLE;
                break;
        case pmac_i2c_mode_stdsub:
        case pmac_i2c_mode_combined:
                if (subsize > 3 || subsize < 1)
                        return -EINVAL;
                cmd->info.sublen = subsize;
                /* that's big-endian only but heh ! */
                memcpy(&cmd->info.subaddr, ((char *)&subaddr) + (4 - subsize),
                       subsize);
                if (bus->mode == pmac_i2c_mode_stdsub)
                        cmd->info.type = SMU_I2C_TRANSFER_STDSUB;
                else
                        cmd->info.type = SMU_I2C_TRANSFER_COMBINED;
