    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 :)

    Best Regards
