Yes, to what I can remember, Juno driver originally used this and it was
supposed to be a reference on who this stuff gets to be used. So, this
is more like "the code never made mainline" instead of no one is using.
And to be frank, this is the API that represents static power, which is
the component that differentiate things while using IPA. Maybe
So yes, my suggestion is to put effort to get the juno code that uses
the static power back to mainline.
