- Why I did it
Fix issue: psu might use wrong voltage sysfs which causes invalid voltage value. The flow is like:

1. User power off a PSU
2. All sysfs files related to this PSU are removed
3. User did a reboot/config reload
4. PSU will use wrong sysfs as voltage node

[Mellanox] Fix issue: thermal zone threshold value 0 causes fan speed stuck at 100% (#10057)
- Why I did it
In SONiC thermal control algorithm, it compares thermal zone temperature with thermal zone threshold. Previously, a thermal zone with no thermal sensor can still get its threshold. However, a recently driver patch changes this behavior: a thermal zone with no thermal sensor will return 0 for threshold. We need to ignore such thermal zone.

- How I did it
Ignore thermal zones whose temperature is 0.

[Mellanox] Modified Platform API to support all firmware updates in single boot (#9608)
Why I did it
Requirements from Microsoft for fwutil update all state that all firmwares which support this upgrade flow must support upgrade within a single boot cycle. This conflicted with a number of Mellanox upgrade flows which have been revised to safely meet this requirement.

How I did it
Added --no-power-cycle flags to SSD and ONIE firmware scripts
Modified Platform API to call firmware upgrade flows with this new flag during fwutil update all
Added a script to our reboot plugin to handle installing firmwares in the correct order with prior to reboot
How to verify it
Populate platform_components.json with firmware for CPLD / BIOS / ONIE / SSD
Execute fwutil update all fw --boot cold
CPLD will burn / ONIE and BIOS images will stage / SSD will schedule for reboot
Reboot the switch
SSD will install / CPLD will refresh / switch will power cycle into ONIE
ONIE installer will upgrade ONIE and BIOS / switch will reboot back into SONiC
In SONiC run fwutil show status to check that all firmware upgrades were successful

[mellanox] Remove validation for fw filenames with no extension (#8956)
Why I did it
Currently the mellanox platform API is validating the file extensions of firmware packages to be installed for basic sanity checking. However, ONIE packages do not have an extension and as such if there is a "." in the name it is taken to be an extension and then fails the sanity check.

How I did it
I removed the check which ensures that ONIE images don't have a file extension.

How to verify it
Name the ONIE updater file 2021.onie and attempt to install it via fwutil install fw 2021.onie --yes

[Mellanox][pcied] Ignore bus on pcie.yaml for Mellanox switches (#8063)
Why I did it
BIOS upgrade on rare cases cannot guarantee bus value remain the same on every BIOS release. Ignoring this field in order for pcied not to fail but still verify device id in a different way. The solution is future proof and will not require changes in code when new BIOS version is available

How I did it
Since bus is not a fixed value (it is determined by the bios version) we are ignoring this field, and instead checking if there is a device that match on all other fields that and in addition has a matching device id.

How to verify it
Verify no errors or failures in pcied on different BIOS version with the same code base.

[Mellanox] Return N/A for PSU's model, serial and revision on platforms with fixed PSU (#7927)
- Why I did it
The methods get_model, get_serial, and get_revision have been implemented by reading relevant information from VPD and then recording the information into relevant fields.
However, there is no VPD data on platforms with fixed PSUs and relevant fields haven't been initialized, which causes the methods to throw exceptions. which in turn prevents psud from inserting fields into PSU table.
Eventually, this causes show platform psustatus doesn't output correct info.

- How I did it
Initialize those fields as N/A on systems with fixed PSUs.

- How to verify it
Manually test.

[Mellanox] Implement auto_firmware_update platform API for to support fwutil auto-update (#7721)
Why I did it
The Mellanox platform is required to support the fwutil auto-update feature defined here

This is to allow switches, when performing SONiC upgrades to choose whether to perform firmware upgrades that may interrupt the data plane through a cold boot.

How I did it
Two methods were added to the component implementations for mellanox.

In the base Component class we add a default function that chooses to skip the installation of any firmware unless the cold boot option is provided. This is because the Mellanox platform, by default, does not support installing firmware on ONIE, the CPLD, or the BIOS "on-the-fly".

In the ComponentSSD class we add a function that behaves similarly but uses the Mellanox specific SSD firmware upgrade tool to check if the current SSD supports being upgraded on the fly in order to decide whether to skip or perform the installation.

How to verify it
Unit tests are included with this PR. These test will run on build of target sonic-mellanox.bin

You may also perform fwutil auto-update ... commands after Azure/sonic-utilities#1242 is merged in.

This pull request allows calls to be made through the platform 2.0 API that retrieve the PSU and Chassis hardware revision on Mellanox platforms. Access to these values will aid customers in determining their hardware revisions for debugging and technical support. These values are intended to be eventually exposed through the CLI. 

#### How I did it

For the PSU hardware revision I used the existing VPD function calls implemented in https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/7382

For the Chassis hardware revision I parsed the SMBIOS / DMI type 2 information to retrieve the information.

[Mellanox] Optimize SFP modules initialization (#7537)
Originally, SFP modules were always accessed from platform daemons, and arbitrary SFP modules can be accessed in the daemon. So all SFP modules were initialized in one shot once one of the following chassis APIs called
- get_all_sfps
- get_sfp_numbers
- get_sfp

Recently, we noticed that SFP modules can also be accessed from CLI, eg. the latest refactor of `sfputil`.

In this case, only one SFP module is accessed in the chassis object's life cycle.
To initialize all SFP modules in one shot is waste of time and causes the CLI to take much more time to finish.
So we would like to optimize the initialization flow by introducing a two-phase initialization approach:
- Partial initialization, which means the `chassis._sfp_list` has been initialized with proper length and all elements being `None`
- Full initialization, which means all elements in `chassis._sfp_list` are created

If the relevant function is called,
- `get_sfp`, only partial initialization will be done, and then the specific SFP module is initialized.
- `get_all_sfps` or `get_num_sfps`, full initialization will be done, which means all SFP modules are initialized.

- Why I did it

Other daemon just start up and call sonic platform API, the API set PSU led to green by call PsuLed.init
This PR is a partial fix for the issue. As we also need guarantee that the led is initialized with a correct value. I checked existing psud and thermalctld code. psud always initialize the PSU led color on boot up, thermalcltd need some changes to initialize led color on the first run

[Mellanox] Fixes issue: CLI sfputil does not work based on sonic platform API (#7018)
#### Why I did it

Recently, CLI sfputil replace the old sonic platform utils with sonic platform API. However, sonic platform API does not support SFP low power mode and reset related operation. The PR is to fix it.

The change to replace platform utils with sonic platform API was reverted on 202012, once this PR is merged, we can cherry-pick these two PRs to 202012 together.

#### How I did it

In low power mode and reset related operation, use "docker exec" if the command is running on host side.

[Mellanox] Ensure concrete platform API classes call base class initializer (#6854)
In preparation for the merging of Azure/sonic-platform-common#173, which properly defines class and instance members in the Platform API base classes.

It is proper object-oriented methodology to call the base class initializer, even if it is only the default initializer. This also future-proofs the potential addition of custom initializers in the base classes down the road.
