Hi Abhijit,
It occurred to me that there should be some discussion added into the
ionic.rst file about this new auxiliary_device support. You might
look in the amd/pds_core.rst and mellanox/mlx5/switchdev.rst files for
similar examples. This perhaps isn't a blocker for this patchset, but
should be planned soon, or added if you do another rev for other reasons.
(In a similar vein, the pds_core.rst should be updated for the new
pds_core.fwctl auxiliary_device, but that's a different problem)

Thanks Shannon. I will mention the rdma support via auxiliary device in
the ionic.rst in next spin.
Abhijit
