I've seen that once, for one of the ESP drivers that were supported on 
both m68k and ppc (APUS, PPC upgrade to Amiga computers). But that 
driver was removed long ago (after 2.6?).

In that case, the assembly file did reside in drivers/scsi/. That still 
appears to be current practice (see drivers/scsi/arm/acornscsi-io.S).
