Depends on "driver core: auxiliary bus: Add driver data helpers" patch [1].
Applies the helpers to all auxiliary device drivers using
dev_(get/set)_drvdata. Drivers were found using the following search:

    grep -lr "struct auxiliary_device" $(grep -lr "drvdata" .)

Changes were build tested using the following configs:

    vdpa/mlx5:       CONFIG_MLX5_VDPA_NET
    net/mlx53:       CONFIG_MLX5_CORE_EN
    soundwire/intel: CONFIG_SOUNDWIRE_INTEL
    RDAM/irdma:      CONFIG_INFINIBAND_IRDMA
                     CONFIG_MLX5_INFINIBAND

I have to say I don't really find this to be a big readability
improvement.

Also, what use is 'to_auxiliary_dev()' ? I didn't see any users added..
