OK, I will add some comments on the why it is gone.

The driver does use this file.

It seems like that I misunderstood something. This file provides one-one
mapping between the dma device id and cpuid, which is both used in the
dts and driver. For dts, it provides device id and cpu id mapping. And
for driver, it is used as the directive to tell how to write the mapping
register.
