Why I did it
High CPU utilization by entropy.py
How I did it
Remove entropy script as it does not work anymore and is no longer needed for bullseye(202205).
In Buster(202012) the max available poolsize (entropy_avail) for entropy is 4096 and our entropy.py script was based on this value. With the change in kernel to bullseye on 202205 this entropy poolsize was changed to 256 which also causes our script to fail.
This script was initially added to provide SW assistance to improve the system entropy value available early on in the Sonic boot sequence on buster.
On bullseye (Linux kernel 5.10) this is no longer needed as this feature has been improved.
How to verify it
run "top" command to check CPU usage.
Why I did it
Removing incorrect check in plt setup for fw_env config: This check was added before to compare 2 different types of disk. Now the check is redundant and check is not required as transition is complete.
2)Removing legacy_volume_label in create_partition: legacy_volume_label is not used in armhf install files. With legacy_volume_label initialized to NULL, current code will always return true for check, if demo_part exits.
How I did it
Change is about removing the redundant/incorrect code explained above.
How to verify it
uboot fw_printenv and fw_setenv is tested
onie-nos-install has be verified.

- Improve random number generation during early Sonic initialization by providing SW updates to Linux entropy value.
- Improve handling of platform In-Band management port
This commit provides the following updates to the Nokia ixs7215 platform
1. The Marvell Armada-38x SOC requires SW assistance to improve the system
entropy value available early on in the Sonic boot sequence.
2. The Nokia ixs7215 platform does not have a dedicated Out-Of-Band (OOB) mgmt
port and thus requires additional logic to optionally support configuring
front panel port 48 as an In-Band mgmt port. This commit provides additional
logic to manage and maintain the operation of this In-Band mgmt port.
