I thought the recent LWN article summed it up nicely, auxillary bus is
for gluing to subsystems together using a driver specific software API
to connect to the HW, MFD is for splitting a physical HW into disjoint
regions of HW.

Maybe there is some overlap, but if you want to add HW representations
to the general auxillary device then I think you are using it for the
wrong thing.
