Hmm, after removing this line, power domains no longer work correctly on 
Exynos (thanks Marek for testing). Unfortunately I'm on a sick leave 
right now and I won't be able to debug this issue on Exynos for some 
time, but I'll see if I can reproduce it on s3c64xx board I have here at 
home.

Best regards,
Tomasz
