Could you explain what makes you think it's unused? It's a feature of
the UAPI generally supported by the videobuf2 framework and relied on
by Chromium OS to get any kind of reasonable performance when
accessing V4L2 buffers in the userspace.

It is implemented by the generic DMA mapping layer [1], which is used
by a number of architectures including ARM64 and supposed to be used
by new architectures going forward.
[1] https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.9-rc1/source/kernel/dma/mapping.c#L341
When removing features from generic kernel code, I'd suggest first
providing viable alternatives for its users, rather than killing the
users altogether.
Given the above, I'm afraid I have to NAK this.
Best regards,
Tomasz
