- Why I did it
1. Update Mellanox HW-MGMT package to newer version V.7.0030.1011
2. Replace the SONiC PMON Thermal control algorithm with the one inside the HW-MGMT package on all Nvidia platforms
3. Support Spectrum-4 systems
- How I did it
1. Update the HW-MGMT package version number and submodule pointer
2. Remove the thermal control algorithm implementation from Mellanox platform API
3. Revise the patch to HW-MGMT package which will disable HW-MGMT from running on SIMX
4. Update the downstream kernel patch list

- 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/

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
