Nope, if the flag CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP is not set, the cpuidle 
framework won't setup the timer.

static void __cpuidle_driver_init(struct cpuidle_driver *drv)
{

	...

	for (i = drv->state_count - 1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
		if (drv->states[i].flags & CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP) {
			drv->bctimer = 1;
			break;
		}
	}

	...

}

static int __cpuidle_register_driver(struct cpuidle_driver *drv)
{
	...

	if (drv->bctimer)
		on_each_cpu_mask(drv->cpumask,
		cpuidle_setup_broadcast_timer,
		 (void *)CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ON, 1);

	...
}

So the broadcast timer does not operate with this revert. Moreover, I am 
not sure reverting this patch is the right solution.
