The macro is used by ACPICA user space utilities like AcpiDump.
We've a plan to update the AcpiDump in the tools/acpi folder.
So it's likely we'll see users of this macro in the kernel tree.

And, if we delete the piece of codes like this, then it will generate new source code differences between Linux and ACPICA, which will hurt the automation of the ACPICA release process.
I'm sorry for that.

Thanks and best regards
