Please read the comments at the top of the file:

# This is a cut-down version of the file; it contains only machines that
# are merged into mainline or have been edited in the machine database
# within the last 12 months.  References to machine_is_NAME() do not count!

It gives you the criteria for entries being removed from the file.

What guarantee do we have that support for this platform will be found
to be acceptable (in it's non-DT form) and will be accepted into mainline
(which is the basic requirement for the entry staying in the kernel's
version of this file.)
