Last time I've looked it doesn't really address my review. Quoting
relevant parts:

Do we have any use-case for selecting ring1 specifically? I've thought
it's only ring2 that is special?

This needs a if (!IS_SKL(dev) return -EINVAL; check since the flag isnt
valid anywhere else. Also you must add code to reject these flags if
userspace selects a ring other than bsd.

And all these new -EINVAL cases need new subtests to validate them in
gem_exec_params.c.

And I might have missed some case, ioctl validation is hard ;-) So please
double-check that really no insane combination that userspace might try to
abuse is caught and has a testcase in gem_exec_params.

/endquote

The testcase also doesn't check for these nasty condiditions (it would
fail with the current patch).
