138c428dea fixed nokia platform m0 asic mismatch (#12148)
changed the platform device name under nokia directory; we now need to specify marvell armhf/arm64 to provide more accurate platform identity. otherwise onie discovery won't recognize the asic being installed.

Why I did it
when we load images using onie discovery, the process was failing because of marvell ASIC mismatch

How I did it
replace the platform asic with marvell-armhf under 7215

How to verify it
load a new image using http server and verify that the image can be loaded successfully

Add platform_asic file to each platform folder in sonic-device-data based package (#8542)
#### 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

#### How to verify it
Test one image on DUT. And check the folders under `/usr/share/sonic/device`
