As far as I can tell, the APQ8064 comes with 4kb of IMEM, so that part
is common regardless.

There is no indication of the restart reason being "optional" in the
downstream kernel, but that's not necessarily a "yes" to your question.

So, please move it to the apq8064.dtsi, as there are no indications of
systems not having this setup. Worst case would be that I'm wrong and we
have to move it out to all current targets sometime in the future.
