I agree with Leon, there shouldn't be a flag for "aux en". aux is
enabled when a device on the aux bus is required. It should all be
rdma en, which already seems to have a bit.

Th only existing place that uses aux_ena immediately calls

		err = ice_init_rdma(pf);

So I'd just delete the whole thing and use rdma_ena. Frankly it looks
structured confusingly, the mlx implementation is better where this is
one function that synchronizes the aux bus with the current state of
the driver - adding/removing as required
