Yes, it looks that it still works fine.

I've tested it by changing the Exynos power domain driver to initialize 
from late_initcall. This in turn lead me to a bug in generic pm_domains 
code in __genpd_dev_pm_attach(), which returns -2 if the pm domain 
driver is not yet registered. After fixing that, I've successfully 
observed the deferred probe of PL330 driver on Exynos 4210 based boards 
both with this patch and without (with the old timer based code).
