Are you sure that this sysfs is correct?

Auxiliary bus set device name as a combination of module name plus suffix.

  172 int __auxiliary_device_add(struct auxiliary_device *auxdev, const char *modname)
  173 {
  174         struct device *dev = &auxdev->dev;
  175         int ret;
 ....
  181
  182         ret = dev_set_name(dev, "%s.%s.%d", modname, auxdev->name, auxdev->id);

Thanks
