Thanks for the review Leon.
Add support for the Ancillary Bus, ancillary_device and ancillary_driver. It enables drivers to create an ancillary_device and bind an ancillary_driver to it.
I was under impression that this name is going to be changed.
It's part of the opens stated in the cover letter.
ok, so what are the variants? system bus (sysbus), sbsystem bus (subbus), crossbus ?
Since the intended use of this bus is to (a) create sub devices that represent 'functional separation' and (b) second use case for subfunctions from a pci device,
I proposed below names in v1 of this patchset.
(a) subdev_bus
It sounds good, just can we avoid "_" in the name and call it subdev?
(b) subfunction_bus
