This check primarily blocks media engine use cases from entering 
oa_configure_all_contexts().

lrc_configure_all_contexts applies to pre-gen12 only. On pre-gen12, 
engine_supports_oa() should return true only for render.

I think some changes are a result of incrementally supporting compute 
and then media in OA.  Since we have not upstreamed the compute support, 
some lines of code remain.

With compute support the "if (engine->class != RENDER_CLASS)" changed to 
"if (!engine_supports_oa(ce->engine)). Later, OAM support brought the 
other condition that checks classes because this code is under 
for_each_uabi_engine(engine, i915). When we run this for an OA use case 
where user has passed rcs0 for ex, it will still iterate over the media 
engines. Since we now support media engines, we should skip them in this 
loop. 

The other question on whether this should be class specific or span 
multiple engines, I have to check that specifically for OAG. Ideally, 
the PWR_CLK_STATE should be configured for all engines that support it 
(render and compute where available), so the above check should be 

if (!engine_supports_oa(ce->engine) ||
     !engine_has_pwr_clk_state(ce->engine))

A jira will help track this and I can address that in a separate 
patch/series if it turns out to be an issue.
