Seems like this was left w/o answer. I guess the question was pointed
to Hans - but what comes to my (not always so humble) opinion - most of
the devm functions in device.h are tightly related to the device
interface or devres. Thus the device.h feels like appropriate place for
most of those. OTOH, the kmalloc/kfree related functions, strdub and
kmemdub might be candidates for move - those are not really "device
things".

But this is really not my call :)
