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.

The 2 places that uses thus function don't check its error code.

Nitpick: why not just: ida_alloc(&aux_ida, GFP_KERNEL);

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)
