Linux does not write into cmd-db region. This region is write protected
by XPU. Making this region uncached magically solves the XPU write fault
issue.
Can you please include above details?

Using MEMREMAP_WC also resolves for qcm6490, see below comment.

In downstream, we have below which resolved similar issue on qcm6490.
cmd_db_header = memremap(rmem->base, rmem->size, MEMREMAP_WC);
Downstream SA8155P also have MEMREMAP_WC. Can you please give it a try
on your device?
Thanks,
