I was hoping that we can describe the actual memory here, as I got the
impression that it will also be a chunk of memory carved out from System
RAM.
If not it would seem unlikely that there's a 8 byte carveout in the
middle of DDR, what else is here?

Add "qcom,cmd-db" to "reserved_mem_matches" in drivers/of/platform.c,
use of_reserved_mem_lookup(pdev->dev.of_node) to get the reserved_mem
and you can just put the compatible directly on the reserved-memory
node.
That way you don't need this separate node that doesn't really represent
anything.
