Subject: [PATCH net-next v9 0/8] Add Auxiliary driver support

Add auxiliary device driver for Broadcom devices.
The bnxt_en driver will register and initialize an aux device
if RDMA is enabled in the underlying device.
The bnxt_re driver will then probe and initialize the
RoCE interfaces with the infiniband stack.

We got rid of the bnxt_en_ops which the bnxt_re driver used to
communicate with bnxt_en.
Similarly  We have tried to clean up most of the bnxt_ulp_ops.
In most of the cases we used the functions and entry points provided
by the auxiliary bus driver framework.
And now these are the minimal functions needed to support the functionality.

We will try to work on getting rid of the remaining if we find any
other viable option in future.

v1->v2:
- Incorporated review comments including usage of ulp_id &
  complex function indirections.
- Used function calls provided by the auxiliary bus interface
  instead of proprietary calls.
- Refactor code to remove ROCE driver's access to bnxt structure.

v2->v3:
- Addressed review comments including cleanup of some unnecessary wrappers
- Fixed warnings seen during cross compilation

v3->v4:
- Cleaned up bnxt_ulp.c and bnxt_ulp.h further
- Removed some more dead code
- Sending the patchset as a standalone series

v4->v5:
- Removed the SRIOV config callback which bnxt_en driver was calling into
  bnxt_re driver.
- Removed excessive checks for rdev and other pointers.

v5->v6:
- Removed excessive checks for dev and other pointers
- Remove runtime interrupt vector allocation. bnxt_en preallocates
interrupt vectors for bnxt_re to use.

v6->v7:
- Removed incorrect usage of inline
- Updated Kconfig to select AUXILIARY BUS support
- Addressed various comments including removal of unnecessary forward
  declaration, using static functions where possible, unnecessary jump,
  cleanup logic, etc..
- Added Leon's Reviewed-by, to the commit log in the patches, from
  previous version.

v7->v8:
- Addressed various comments to remove unnecessary check for id, removed
  setting pointer to NULL after free, renamed private pointers to avoid
  confusing them with the auxiliary device names and refactored some
  code accordingly.
- Auxiliary device will be released through auxiliary_device_uninit();

v8->v9:
- Fixed the cleanup code to use the auxiliary driver release function to
  free allocated memory. This allows the cleanup to be performed once
  the device reference count drops to 0.
- Refactored the code to address the above.

Commit message uses Leon's Reviewed-by from earlier version.

Please apply. Thanks.
