I think only EFL port used this feature so it's safe to remove it from
trunk now.

I don't think either WPE or GTK are interested in vibration API.

I'm sure someone will quickly contradict me here if I'm wrong.

[webkit-dev] Proposal: Remove Vibration API

[Joseph Pecoraro]

There is code in the tree for the Vibration API guarded by ENABLE(VIBRATION). I 
propose we remove it:
 Remove Vibration API

There have been concerns that the Vibration API can be used for fingerprinting 
and has the potential for abuse by web content:

Currently this feature is not enabled by any port, so it is unmaintained. 
Generally that would be enough to remove the code unless a port wishes to 
enable and maintain the feature.

Does any port intend to enable and maintain this feature?
