What/Why I did:
Issue1: By setting up of ipvlan interface in interface-config.sh we are not tolerant to failures. Reason being interface-config.service is one-shot and do not have restart capability.
Scenario: For example if let's say database service goes in fail state then interface-services also gets failed because of dependency check but later database service gets restart but interface service will remain in stuck state and the ipvlan interface nevers get created.
Solution: Moved all the logic in database service from interface-config service which looks more align logically also since the namespace is created here and all the network setting (sysctl) are happening here.With this if database starts we recreate the interface.
Issue 2: Use of IPVLAN vs MACVLAN
Currently we are using ipvlan mode. However above failure scenario is not handle correctly by ipvlan mode. Once the ipvlan interface is created and ip address assign to it and if we restart interface-config or database (new PR) service Linux Kernel gives error "Error: Address already assigned to an ipvlan device." based on this:https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ipvlan/ipvlan_main.c#L978Reason being if we do not do cleanup of ip address assignment (need to be unique for IPVLAN) it remains in Kernel Database and never goes to free pool even though namespace is deleted.
Solution: Considering this hard dependency of unique ip macvlan mode is better for us and since everything is managed by Linux Kernel and no dependency for on user configured IP address.
Issue3: Namespace database Service do not check reachability to Supervisor Redis Chassis Server.
Currently there is no explicit check as we never do Redis PING from namespace to Supervisor Redis Chassis Server. With this check it's possible we will start database and all other docker even though there is no connectivity and will hit the error/failure late in cycle
Solution: Added explicit PING from namespace that will check this reachability.
Issue 4:flushdb give exception when trying to accces Chassis Server DB over Unix Sokcet.
Solution: Handle gracefully via try..except and log the message.
Added midplane_subnet in chassisdb.conf for interfaces-config.sh to create midplane interface in multi-asic namespaces.

Why I did it
Updated the BCM config recommended by Broadcom for Nokia-IXR7250E-36x400G
How I did it
Updated the BCM config file
How to verify it
Verified running the image with this BCM config in Nokia-IXR7250E-36x400G and ensured that the syncd container was stable, ports were up and passing the traffic.

#### Why I did it
Add platform_asic file to each platform folder in sonic-device-data package. The file content will be used as the ground truth of mapping from PLATFORM_STRING to switch ASIC family.
One use case of the mapping is to prevent installing a wrong image, which targets for other ASIC platforms. For example, currently we have several ONIE images naming as sonic-*.bin, it's easy to mistakenly install the wrong image. With this mapping built into image, we could fetch the ONIE platform string, and figure out which ASIC it is using, and check we are installing the correct image.
After this PR merged, each platform vendor has to add one mandatory text file `device/PLATFORM_VENDOR/PLATFORM_STRING/platform_asic`, with the content of the platform's switch ASIC family.
I will update https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/wiki/Porting-Guide after this PR is merged.
You can get a list of the ASIC platforms by `ls -b platform | cat`. Currently the options are
```
barefoot
broadcom
cavium
centec
centec-arm64
generic
innovium
marvell
marvell-arm64
marvell-armhf
mellanox
nephos
p4
vs
```
Also support
```
broadcom-dnx
```
#### How I did it
#### How to verify it
Test one image on DUT. And check the folders under `/usr/share/sonic/device`
Why I did it
Support Nokia ixr7250E IMM and Supervisor cards
How I did it
Added modules x86_64-nokia_ixr7250e_sup-r0 and x86_64-nokia_ixr7250e_36x400g-r0 ../device/nokia directory.
Modified the platform/broadcom/one-image.mk to include NOKIA_IXR7250_PLATFORM_MODULE
Modified the platform/broadcom/rule.mk to include the platform-module-nokia.mk
