Elisp-mode was doing a lot of work that can now be delegated to Eldoc.
Flymake uses the new Eldoc functionality, too, installing a global
documentation function that may report on diagnostics under point.
CEDET's grammar.el was left as the only user of an Eldoc-internal
function. That function was moved to grammar.el. That file is still,
somewhat reprehensibly, using an internal function of elisp-mode.el,
but this was left unchanged.
In other situations, eldoc-documentation-functions is used or
recommended.
The only other places where the obsolete eldoc-documentation-function
is still used is in libraries which are presumably meant to remain
compatible with previous Emacs versions.
