Goal is to improve Linux kernel codebase to able to develop in any platform via 
VS code (IntelliSense + remote compiler or local cross-compiler for ARM SoCs).

In the Linux git repo tree there are two driver sources where the aux filename 
is exist for this improvement, it need to be solved with renaming.

In drm/nouveau/i2c driver, aux files was already solved, it is merged.

Only arc sources need to be fixed finally.

It is not a critical bugfix for your company's daily work. But it is an open 
source operating system, you have to care about this improvment also, if you are 
a maintainer.


Why is it important?
Because young developers will never be willing to join and contributing in Linux 
kernel in the future if there are no any high-quality easy-to-use IDE for Linux 
kernel coding.
