This looks like a nice improvement! I have a few suggestions
for improvements, but no objections here.

The implementation here looks reasonable, just wonder whether
the classification as an 'errata' makes sense. I would probably
consider this a 'driver' at this point, but that's just
a question of personal preference.

For the operations structure, I think a 'static const struct
riscv_cache_ops' is more intuitive than assigning the
members individually.

I don't quite see how the fourth operation is used here.
Are there cache controllers that need something beyond
clean/inv/flush?

I think you can drop the #else path here: if there is no
noncoherent DMA, then nothing should ever call these
functions, right?

Same here: If the ZICBOM ISA is disabled, nothing should
reference zicbom_cmo_ops. Also, since ZICBOM is a standard
extension, I think it makes sense to always have it enabled,
at least whenever noncoherent DMA is supported, that way
it can be the default that gets used in the absence of any
nonstandard cache controller.
