You control the platform devices, why force them to be shared like this? thanks, greg k-h

There's no complexity here with using individual devices, that's why I wanted to create secondary (auxiliary devices). IOW -- "I have a platform device that does a lot of different things.

From Documentation/driver-api/auxiliary_bus.rst: A key requirement for utilizing the auxiliary bus is that there is no dependency on a physical bus, device, register accesses or regmap support. These individual devices split from the core cannot live on the platform bus as they are not physical devices that are controlled by DT/ACPI. > thanks, > > greg k-h

Are there any concerns with creating auxiliary device under the platform device? There will only be 2 auxiliary devices under this Resource Manager device: one for console, and one for a VM loader. > thanks, > > greg k-h

Just make 2 real devices on your own virtual bus please. thanks, greg k-h

Gunyah resource manager exposes a concrete functionalities which complicate a single resource manager driver. Use auxiliary bus to help split high level functions for the resource manager and keep the primary resource manager driver focused on the RPC with RM itself. Delegate Resource Manager's console functionality to the auxiliary bus.
