- Why I did it
Add an ability to add arm64 mellanox specific kconfig using the integration tool
Fix the existing duplicate kconfig problem by using the vanilla .config
Add an ability to patch kconfig-inclusions file. Renamed series.patch to external-changes.patch to reflect the behavior
NOTE: Min hw-mgmt version to use with these changes: V.7.0030.2000 not yet upstream but required prio to it.
This option will be enabled one the new hw mgmt will be upstream.
Depends on sonic-net/sonic-linux-kernel#336

- Why I did it
Facilitate Automatic integration of new hw-mgmt version into SONiC.
Inputs to the Script:
MLNX_HW_MANAGEMENT_VERSION Eg: 7.0040.5202
CREATE_BRANCH: (y|n) Creates a branch instead of a commit (optional, default: n)
BRANCH_SONIC: Only relevant when CREATE_BRANCH is y. Default: master.
Note: These should be provided through SONIC_OVERRIDE_BUILD_VARS parameter
Output:
Script creates a commit (in each of sonic-buildimage, sonic-linux-kernel) with all the changes required for upgrading the hw-management version to a version provided by MLNX_HW_MANAGEMENT_VERSION
Brief Summary of the changes made:
MLNX_HW_MANAGEMENT_VERSION flag in the hw-management.mk file
hw-mgmt submodule is updated to the corresponding version
Updates are made to non-upstream-patches/patches and series.patch file
series, kconfig-inclusion and kconfig-exclusion files can be updated in the sonic-linux-kernel repo
sonic-linux-kernel/patches folder is updated with the corresponding upstream patches
Based on the inputs, there could be a branch seen in the local for each of the repo's. Branch is named as <branch>_<parent_commit>_integrate_<hw_mgmt_version>
- How I did it
Added a new make target which can be invoked by calling make integrate-mlnx-hw-mgmt

Changes made will be summarized under sonic-buildimage/integrate-mlnx-hw-mgmt_user.out file. Debugging and troubleshooting output is written to sonic-buildimage/integrate-mlnx-hw-mgmt.log files
User output file & stdout file:
log_files.tar.gz
Limitations:
Assumes the changes would only work for amd64
Assumes the non-upstream patches in mellanox only belong to hw-mgmt
- How to verify it
Build the Kernel

- Why I did it
Currently, non upstream patches are applied only after upstream patches.
Depends on sonic-net/sonic-linux-kernel#313. Can be merged in any order, preferably together
- What I did it
Non upstream Patches that reside in the sonic repo will not be saved in a tar file bur rather in a folder pointed out by EXTERNAL_KERNEL_PATCH_LOC. This is to make changes to the non upstream patches easily traceable.
The build variable name is also updated to INCLUDE_EXTERNAL_PATCHES
Files/folders expected under EXTERNAL_KERNEL_PATCH_LOC
EXTERNAL_KERNEL_PATCH_LOC/
├──── patches/
├── 0001-xxxxx.patch
├── 0001-yyyyyyyy.patch
├── .............
├──── series.patch
series.patch should contain a diff that is applied on the sonic-linux-kernel/patch/series file. The diff should include all the non-upstream patches.
How to verify it
Build the Kernel and verified if all the patches are applied properly
