Correct. After adding

    dev_info(dev, "%s: pm_runtime_is_irq_safe = %d,
genpd_is_irq_safe(%s) = %d => %s\n", __func__,
pm_runtime_is_irq_safe(dev), genpd->name, genpd_is_irq_safe(genpd),
ret ? "true" : "false");

I see on R-Car M2-W:

    sh_cmt ffca0000.timer: irq_safe_dev_in_no_sleep_domain:
pm_runtime_is_irq_safe = 1, genpd_is_irq_safe(always-on) = 0 => true

For all other devices, the result is false.
