If my PMIC (TPS65381) chip is in the safety state and latched in this state, is there a way for me to communicate via SPI (no matter which register is operated), and manually enter the PMIC into the reset state?

Hello,
It depends on how the device was configured on startup. If the WD_RST_EN bit was set to 1 while in DIAGNOSTIC state then the MCU can intentionally force a transition to RESET state by sending incorrect Watchdog answers and forcing the WD_FAIL_CNT=7+1. There is also a SAFE STATE TIME-OUT that can be configured in order to leave SAFE state but the best way to get out of SAFE state is a watchdog fail with WD_RST_EN set to 1.
Best regards,
