The compiler should be able to figure out that rc is always set in paths to where
it is used.   If not fair enough leaving this.

If there is a strong reason to override the value of rc rather than returning
that I'd add a comment.

Likewise here.

Overall I'd just use a single rc variable rather than having separate one for err.

Can you drop the linux/auxiliary_bus.h include given I think this
is the only use in here?

Maybe there will be more commands in future. So add a trailing comma.
General convention is always do this unless it is a terminating entry
that is just there to count the elements above.
