So, thank you for your ideas. I'll consider this issue resolved by;

Use git grep
Use ctags/etags
Use free-electrons as a last resort

Also, there's a tool called cscope [1].
There are also occurences of coccigrep [2] in the kernel.

and another to add to the list is gscope, which is based off of cscope:
