We are moving toward building all Python packages for SONiC as wheel packages rather than Debian packages. This will also allow us to more easily transition to Python 3.
Python files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities" Pyhton wheel. Data files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities-data" Debian package.
**- How I did it**
- Build and install sonic-utilities as a Python package
- Remove explicit installation of wheel dependencies, as these will now get installed implicitly by pip when installing sonic-utilities as a wheel
- Build and install new sonic-utilities-data package to install data files required by sonic-utilities applications
- Update all references to sonic-utilities scripts/entrypoints to either reference the new /usr/local/bin/ location or remove absolute path entirely where applicable
Submodule updates:
* src/sonic-utilities aa27dd9...2244d7b (5):
> Support building sonic-utilities as a Python wheel package instead of a Debian package (#1122)
> [consutil] Display remote device name in show command (#1120)
> [vrf] fix check state_db error when vrf moving (#1119)
> [consutil] Fix issue where the ConfigDBConnector's reference is missing (#1117)
> Update to make config load/reload backward compatible. (#1115)
* src/sonic-ztp dd025bc...911d622 (1):
> Update paths to reflect new sonic-utilities install location, /usr/local/bin/ (#19)
Implement classes IpmiSensor, IpmiFru to obtain platform sensors information for Platform2.0 APIs in DellEMC Z9264 platform.
Add a new file ipmihelper.py with the implementation for IpmiSensor, IpmiFru classes.
This common utility would set next boot option as onie mode and
when reboot is triggered it would reboot the box into that specific onie mode.
Current support modes are rescue/install/uninstall
* This method is used to update firmware components such as CPLD,FPGA,BIOS,SMF
* This uses ONIE firmware upgrade design to stage firmware update from NOS.
a) Copy latest firmware updater image to target running sonic.
b) Run “./fw-updater -u onie-firmware-x86_64-dellemc_s5200_c3538-r0.3.40.5.1-9.bin”.
c) This would automatically reboot ONIE into update mode and update firmware components to latest and reboot back to sonic without any user intervention.

- What I did
Added Daemon to Log LPC bus degradation in Intel C2000 processor. Intel Rangeley C2000 processors with revision less than or equal to 2 have issue where LPC bus degrades over time in some processors. To identify the problem and to notify the issue, a daemon has been added which will log on encountering the issue.
- How I did it
Added a daemon which validates the CPLD scratch(0x102) and SMF scratch(0x202) registers by writing and reading values on regular polling intervals (300 seconds). If there is a discrepancy between read and write, a critical log will be thrown.
- How to verify it
The infra is verify by simulating the issue where between write and read, the value in register is modified and the log appearance is checked.
- Description for the changelog
Added Daemon to identify LPC bus degradation issue and notify using syslog in Dell S6100 and Z9100 platforms. This daemon will only run on processors with revision less than or equal to 2.
This service (weekly) will let SSD firmware to do the garbage collection
after file-system deleted files. It could avoid slowness or
even READ-ONLY error due to SSD not being able to free the pages
even though the file system thinks there was a lot of space left.

dell_ich module fails to load sometimes due to the failure of pci_get_drvdata().
This function is responsible for fetching INTEL PCI related memory handle in kernel. This is implemented in lpc_ich kernel module.
Due to race in addition/deletion of kernel modules, sometimes lpc_ich loads after dell_ich.
Because of this behaviour dell_ich module fails to load.
Fixed by addding dependency between modules.
Removed i2c_mux_gpio module from blacklist entry as it is not the original root case of this issue.
