- Why I did it
Add support for compiling Spectrum-4 ASIC firmware to the SONiC image
Add support for Spectrum-4 ASIC firmware upgrade
- How I did it
Update Mellanox fw make files to include Spectrum-4 ASIC firmware binaries.
Update firmware upgrade scripts to be able to detect Spectrum-4 ASIC.
- How to verify it
Run regression tests

- Why I did it
System is stuck on 'starting' state on SimX platform because of infinite loop on 'hw-management-ready.sh' script .
The loop is polling to check if the hw-mgmt sysfs created before proceeding with the flow, for SimX platform the sysfs will never create so the system is not starting properly.
- How I did it
Add a condition to poll on hw-mgmt sysfs only if the switch is real HW and not SimX platform.
- How to verify it
Check "systemctl status hw-management.service" output on a SimX switch with this patch, the state will be "active".

**- Why I did it**
Reduce the time it takes for the ASIC FW burn as part of the automatic FW upgrade procedure.
**- How I did it**
Add -d option to mlxfwmanager tool to use the faster MST device and not the default one which is not the fastest one.
**- How to verify it**
I manually changed ASIC FW followed by reboot command in order for FW upgrade to take place on deinit.
I manually changed ASIC FW followed by hard reset in order for FW upgrade to take place on init.

Install a new FW by specifying FW path (mlnx-fw-upgrade.sh /path/to/FW)
or use default at '/etc/mlnx/fw-SPC.mfa'
