Thank you for working to convert this driver to auxiliary bus. I'm
confident that it will be ready soon.

In order to effectively review this series, you need to structure
patches in such way that you don't remove in patch X+1 code that you
added in patch X.

Also you should remove maze of redundant functions that do nothing, but
just call to another function with useless checks.

Auxiliary devices shouldn't be created if en_dev == NULL.

Thanks
