[PATCH v2 0/7] driver core: auxiliary bus: add device creation helper

[Jerome Brunet <jbrunet@baylibre.com>]

The suggestion for this change was initially discussed here: [1]

This patchset adds and use a helper to create a simple auxiliary device.
The goal is to remove boilerplate code that tends to get repeated for
simple cases.

Only the last change was tested on actual HW. The other usage of the helper
have only been compile tested with x64_64 allmodconfig. There are many other
simple cases of auxiliary device creation but those tend to use the
'container_of' trick to allocate the auxiliary device. It is possible to
convert these drivers to use the provided helper but the conversion is
slightly more complex.

Changes in v2:
- Add usage examples, as requested.
- Add 'id' as function parameter:  Adding the example usage showed that
  handling IDA allocation was not appropriate and making the usage more
  complex for simple use case.
- Also add 'modname' as parameter: Most driver have been using
  KBUILD_MODNAME and this actually rarely align with the driver name.
