Being the one who implemented auxiliary bus in the kernel and converted
number of drivers to use it, I strongly recommend do NOT follow the example
provided there.

So you are missing "best practice", and "best practice" is to use
EXPORT_SYMBOLs and rely on module reference counting.

It is not true and not how the kernel works. You can perfectly load core
driver without IB and ETH, at some extent this is how mlx5 driver works.

So please use it and don't add complexity where it is not needed.

It is better to follow actual drivers that use auxiliary bus and see how
they implemented it and not rely on examples in the documentation.
