Why I did it
For trident4/tomahawk4, linux_ngknet.ko and linux_ngknetcb.ko have to be installed. Also, the kernel modules to load on such chips are different from existing ones, so we add an option is_ltsw_chip to determine the kernel modules to load. The option is_ltsw_chip is controlled by adding 'is_ltsw_chip=1' to platform_env.conf or not.
How to verify it
We verified that existing platforms still work after this change; and for platforms with trident4/tomahawk4, we can load the different kernel modules as expected after adding 'is_ltsw_chip=1' to platform_env.conf
Why I did it
Update Broadcom SAI to version 6.0.0.13, SDK 6.5.24, saibcm-modules to 6.5.24.gpl

Brcm SAI 6.0 EA with fixes for CS00012203367, CS00012219613, CS00012213974, CS00012218290, CS00012217169, CS00012211718, CS00012213944, CS00012215529, CS00012218100, CS00012214196, CS00012212681, CS00012205138, CS00012208537, CS00012185316, CS00012208524, CS00012203367, CS00012197364.
The kernel already provides psample, and with module versioning being
done in modpost, having the SDK compile its own copy of psample breaks
loading dependent modules.

Update the build rules in saibcm-modules to use the 5.10 kernel instead
of searching for the 4.19 kernel. In addition, some code changes were
done to get it to compile. The main categories of such changes are as
follows:
* For /proc files, `struct file_operations` has been replaced with
`struct proc_ops`.
* Y2038 changes to use the new APIs, since `do_gettimeofday()` is no
longer available.
* Minor changes in how external kernel module symbols are read by
modpost.
