I thought it was DEPTH_STALL that disabled the write flush. It is
redundant in the case where the write flush is taking place though and
you can do:

/* bspec is not entirely clear when the render target cache flush is
 * disabled with other stall bits set, so don't set any additional
 * stalls if we are already using the cache flush.
 */
if ((flags & PIPE_CONTROL_RENDER_TARGET_CACHE_FLUSH) == 0)
   flags |= PIPE_CONTROL_STALL_AT_SCOREBOARD;
