Why not? It's a subdev of a device. In mlx5, we have separate auxdevs
for eth, rdma, vnet, representors. DPLL is also a separate entity which
could be instantiated independently (as it is not really dependent on
eth/rdma/etc)). Auxdev looks like an awesome fit. Why do you think it is
not?

Also, what's good about auxdev is that you can maintain them quite
independetly. So there is going to be driver/dpll/ directory which would
contain all dpll drivers.
