Add support for the Auxiliary Bus, auxiliary_device and auxiliary_driver. It enables drivers to create an auxiliary_device and bind an auxiliary_driver to it.
The bus supports probe/remove shutdown and suspend/resume callbacks. Each auxiliary_device has a unique string based id; driver binds to an auxiliary_device based on this id through the bus.

Greg,
This horse was beaten to death, can we please progress with this patch? Create special topic branch or ack so I'll prepare this branch.
We are in -rc4 now and we (Mellanox) can't hold our submissions anymore. My mlx5_core probe patches [1] were too intrusive and they are ready to be merged, Parav's patches got positive review as well [2] and will be taken next.
We delayed and have in our internal queues the patches for VDPA, eswitch and followup for mlx5_core probe rework, but trapped due to this AUX bus patch.
Thanks
