[PATCH V2 4/7] Documentation/auxiliary_bus: Clarify __auxiliary_driver_register

From: ira . weiny
Date: Wed Dec 01 2021 - 23:43:50 EST


From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

__auxiliary_driver_register is not intended to be called directly unless
a custom name is required. Add documentation for this fact.
