This does not need to be here, put it as function local variable should
be fine.

For the parent name, my understanding is they should be the one
from clk-imx8ulp.c, but I not find them, or may I miss something?

clk_imx8ulp_sim_lpav_unregister_aux_reset() clean up the resources, if
moving this before auxiliary_device_add(), then no need
auxiliary_device_uninit() when add fails?
