- Why I did it
In sfplpm API, the number of logical ports is hardcoded as 64. When a system contains more port than this, the SDK APIs would fail with a syslog as below
Mar 7 03:53:58.105980 r-leopard-58 ERR syncd#SDK: [MGMT_LIB.ERR] Slot [0] Module [0] has logport [0x00010069] in enabled state
Mar 7 03:53:58.105980 r-leopard-58 ERR syncd#SDK: [SDK_MGMT_LIB.ERR] Failed in __sdk_mgmt_phy_module_pwr_attr_set, error: Internal Error
Mar 7 03:53:58.106118 r-leopard-58 ERR pmon#-c: Error occurred when setting power mode for SFP module 0, slot 0, error code 1

Sometimes Nvidia watchdog device isn't ready when watchdog-control service is up after first installation from ONIE

Fixes#13568
Upgrade from old image always requires squashfs mount to get the next image FW binary. This can be avoided if we put FW binary under platform directory which is easily accessible after installation:
admin@r-spider-05:~$ ls /host/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534/platform/fw-SPC.mfa
/host/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534/platform/fw-SPC.mfa
admin@r-spider-05:~$ ls -al /tmp/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534-fs/etc/mlnx/fw-SPC.mfa

- Why I did it
202211 and above uses different squashfs compression type that 201911 kernel can not handle. Therefore, we avoid mounting squashfs altogether with this change.
- How I did it
Place FW binary under /host/image-/platform/mlnx/, soft links in /etc/mlnx are created to avoid breaking existing scripts/automation.
/etc/mlnx/fw-SPCX.mfa is a soft link always pointing to the FW that should be used in current image
mlnx-fw-upgrade.sh is updated to prefer /host/image-/platform/mlnx location and fallback to /etc/mlnx in squashfs in case new location does not exist. This is necessary to do image downgrade.

On Mellanox platform, system EEPROM is a soft link provided by hw-management. There is chance that config-setup service accessing the EEPROM before hw-management creating it. It causes errors. The PR is aim to fix it.

Why I did it
High CPU utilization by entropy.py
How I did it
Remove entropy script as it does not work anymore and is no longer needed for bullseye(202205).
In Buster(202012) the max available poolsize (entropy_avail) for entropy is 4096 and our entropy.py script was based on this value. With the change in kernel to bullseye on 202205 this entropy poolsize was changed to 256 which also causes our script to fail.
This script was initially added to provide SW assistance to improve the system entropy value available early on in the Sonic boot sequence on buster.
On bullseye (Linux kernel 5.10) this is no longer needed as this feature has been improved.
How to verify it
run "top" command to check CPU usage.

SDK/FW
1. Fixed bug in recovery mechanism in case of I2C error when trying to access the XSFP module.
2. On the NVIDIA Spectrum-2 switch, when receiving a packet with Symbol Errors on ports that are configured to cut-thought mode, a pipeline might get stuck.
3. On the Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 switch, if you enable ECN marking and the port is in split mode, traffic sent to the port under congestion (for example, when connecting two ports with a total speed of 50GbE to a single 25GbE port) is not marked.
4. Modifying existing entry/Adding new one when switch is at its maximum capacity (full by maximum allowed entries from any type such as routes, FDB, and so forth), will fail with an error.
5. When many ports are active (e.g., 70 ports up), and the configuration of shared buffer is applied on the fly, occasionally, the firmware might get stuck.
6. When a system has more than 256 ACL rules, on rare occasion, removing/adding rules may cause some ACL rules not to work.
7. On SN2201 system, on RJ45 port, the link might appear in 'down' state even if it operations properly.
8. Layer 4 port information is not initialized for BFD packet event. To address the issue, remote peer UDP port information was added in BFD packet event.
9. When setting LAG as a SPAN analyzer, the distributor mode of the LAG members was not taken into account. It may happen that the LAG member with distributor mode disabled will be set as a SPAN analyzer port.

In order to prevent the sonic-mgmt/tests/platform_tests/sfp/test_sfputil.py test failing on the log analyzer step.
The mentioned test is performing the sfputil reset EthernetX for every interface on the SONiC switch, this action will flap the SFP device status (INSTERTED -> REMOVED -> INSTERTED).
The SONiC XCVRD daemon will catch this SFP device status change (because it is monitoring the presence status of the cable).
To judge the cable presence status, currently, we are still leveraging to read the first bytes of the EEPROM, and the EEPROM could be not ready at some moment and the SONiC XCVRD daemon will print the error log to Syslog:
ERR pmon#xcvrd: Error! Unable to read data for 'xx' port, page 'xx' offset 128, rc = 1, err msg: Sending access register
- How I did it
Change logging severity from ERR to WARNING
- How to verify it
Run the sonic-mgmt/tests/platform_tests/sfp/test_sfputil.py
OR much faster way to run the next script on the switch:
#!/bin/bash
START=0
END=248
for (( intf=$START; intf<=$END; intf+=8))
do
sfputil reset Ethernet"${intf}"
done

run regression on real hardware and simx platform.
- Why I did it
In case of warm/fast reboot, the hardware reboot cause will NOT be cleared because CPLD will not be touched in this flow. To not confuse the reboot cause determine logic, the leftover hardware reboot cause shall be skipped by the platform API, platform API will return the 'REBOOT_CAUSE_NON_HARDWARE' instead of the "hardware" reboot cause.
- How I did it
Check the proc cmdline to see whether the last reboot is a warm or fast reboot, if yes skip checking the leftover hardware reboot cause.
- How to verify it
a. Manual test:
- Perform a power loss
- Perform a warm/fast reboot
- Check the reboot cause should be "warm-reboot" or "fast-reboot" instead of "power loss"
b. Run reboot cause related regression test.
