To support RDMA capable ethernet device, create an auxiliary device in the ionic Ethernet driver. The RDMA device is modeled as an auxiliary device to the Ethernet device.

+ auxiliary_device_uninit(aux_dev);I think a return err; is missing here, because, IMOH, auxiliary_device_uninit() will call put_device() that will trigger ionic_auxbus_release(). So kfree(ionic_adev) would be called twice. I also think that ida_free() should also be ionic_auxbus_release() (just a guess, not checked in details)
