The variable aux_inv is set only if (!HAS_FLAT_CCS(rq->engine->i915)).

That's true. I was following the original logic flow here. I think it would be better to check for engine class before setting the variable aux_inv.

Haha, REG_BIT(17) it is. The other one causes a CHECK:SPACING, but don't want to touch that in this patch.
