Some doc fixups, and minor code feedback. Otherwise looks good to me.

I think there are three identified use cases for this now, so call out
those examples for others to compare if aux bus is a fit for their use
case.
"In some subsystems, the functionality of the core device
(PCI/ACPI/other) is too complex to be handled by a monolithic driver
(e.g. Sound Open Firmware), multiple devices might implement a common
intersection of functionality (e.g. NICs + RDMA), or a driver may want
to export an interface for another subsystem to drive (e.g. SIOV
Physical Function export Virtual Function management)."

Passive voice and I don't understand what is meant by the word "orthogonal"
"A split of the functionality into child-devices representing
sub-domains of functionality makes it possible to compartmentalize,
layer, and distribute domain-specific concerns via a Linux
device-driver model"

These last few sentences are confusing the justification of the
existence of auxiliary bus, not the explanation of when why and how to
use it.
The "When Should the Auxiliary Bus Be Used" should mention where
Auxiliary bus fits relative to the platform-bus and MFD, perhaps in an
explicit "When not to use Auxiliary Bus" section to direct people to
platform-bus and MFD when those are a better fit.

As this file will be sitting in Documentation/ it will be too late to
"intend" it either does and or it doesn't. This again feels more like
justification for existence that should already be in the changelog,
it can go from the Documentation.

Should there be any guidance here on when to use ops and when to just
export functions from parent driver to child. EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() seems
a perfect fit for publishing shared routines between parent and child.

How about?
This conveys data/ops published by the parent PCI device/driver to the

This does not read like an explicit example like the previous 2. Did
you have something specific in mind?
Here's where the "when not to" / "MFD platform-bus" redirect section can go.

Too many "registerings"
The registering driver must unregister all auxiliary devices before
its own driver.remove() callback is completed.

Might want to mention the typical expectation is that users call
