Ok. But..
bnxt_aux_dev_free() is actually freeing up the private memory allocated
for holding the pointer returned by my_aux_dev_alloc(xxx);
The aux device is freed via the auxiliary_device_uninit only.

To avoid confusion, I will refactor and rename the code handling
auxiliary_device alloc, cleanup and the alloc, cleanup of priv
pointers used for bookkeeping.

I hope the new patchset will address the concerns raised.
