The documentation for creating an auxiliary device is a 3 step not a 2
step process.  Specifically the requirements of setting the name, id,

Russ Weight 8886a57974 fpga: region: Use standard dev_release for class driver
The FPGA region class driver data structure is being treated as a
managed resource instead of using the standard dev_release call-back
function to release the class data structure. This change removes the
managed resource code and combines the create() and register()
functions into a single register() or register_full() function.

The register_full() function accepts an info data structure to provide
flexibility in passing optional parameters. The register() function
supports the current parameter list for users that don't require the
use of optional parameters.

Daniel Thompson 37829227f0 Documentation: dmaengine: Add a description of what dmatest does
Currently it can difficult to determine what dmatest does without
reading the source code. Let's add a description.

The description is taken mostly from the patch header of
commit 4a776f0aa9 ("dmatest: Simple DMA memcpy test client").
It has been edited and updated slightly. Nevertheless the new text was
largely written by Haarvard Skinnemoen and was copied from another
patch, already committed to the kernel, which has Haarvard's SoB:
attached to it.
