[PATCH v2 1/8] driver core: auxiliary bus: Introduce dev_is_auxiliary()

Posted by Rafael J. Wysocki 3 weeks, 3 days ago

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Introduce dev_is_auxiliary() in analogy with dev_is_platform() to
facilitate subsequent changes.

Danilo, Greg, please let me know if you have objections or concerns
regarding this one.

The new function is used in the next patch to limit the scope of the
search when looking for duplicates of the device being probed.
