I found it very helpful several times. This assumes that the bootloader/firmware left the power domains powered up. Without PM_GENERIC_DOMAINS, which depends on CONFIG_PM the kernel has no means to control the state of the power domains. Probe deferral based on the power domain will also not work, so driver may probe and try to access power-gated devices, leading to system hangs in the common case.
