They are indeed closer together now, just not in the same file.

Looking across subsystems at the output of

git grep -l EXPORT.*devm

I see that 10 out of 182 files have split the devres functions
into a separate file, while the others just keep the devm_*
function in the same place as the normal one. Since you never
have one of these files without the other, and they do
almost the exact same thing, a single file is the simpler
option.

Note that there are also three pcim_*() functions in
drivers/pci/pci.c. I think that is the correct place for
them, but if you wanted to split out pci devres functions
into a separate file, they would now also have to go
into drivers/pci/devres.c.
