That as an argument alone doesn't sound convincing to me, since vendors
also sometimes repurpose unused-by-Qualcomm SDAM cells

I actually found a data source internally and this cell you're trying
to use is reserved for PBS (see drivers/soc/qcom/qcom-pbs.c), meaning
you already fell into this trap..
