Auxiliary bus [1] provides a way to split function into child-devices
representing sub-domains of functionality. Each auxiliary device
represents a part of its parent functionality.

Auxiliary device is identified by unique device name, sysfs path:
  /sys/bus/auxiliary/devices/<name>

Devargs legacy syntax ofauxiliary device:
  -a auxiliary:<name>[,args...]
Devargs generic syntax of auxiliary device:
  -a bus=auxiliary,name=<name>,,/class=<classs>,,/driver=<driver>,,
