- Why I did it
In order to activate FW after it was upgraded need to perform reboot.
If reboot wasn't performed and user need to upgrade to another SONiC image then it will fail.
The reason for that is that during SONiC upgrade new FW should be installed but it will fail because previously installed FW wasn't activated.
In order to allow 2nd FW upgrade without reboot in-between need to reactivate FW image.
This change handles such flow.
Example of issue scenario:
User installed SONiC image on the switch
Then for some reason FW was upgraded by user or script but reboot was not performed to activate it.
After that upgrade to new SONiC image will fail because new image need to install FW but it fails due to previous one wasn't activated.
- How I did it
In "mlnx-fw-upgrade" script check if FW upgrade failed with the error that FW was already installed but reboot was not performed.
If so then perform FW image reactivation and try to upgrade FW again.
- How to verify it
Install SONiC image on the switch
Then upgrade FW but don't perform reboot.
After that upgrade to new SONiC image and check that upgrade was successfull.

watchdogutil uses platform API watchdog instance to control/query watchdog status. In Nvidia watchdog status, it caches "armed" status in a object member "WatchdogImplBase.armed". This is not working for CLI infrastructure because each CLI will create a new watchdog instance, the status cached in previous instance will totally lose. Consider following commands:
admin@sonic:~$ sudo watchdogutil arm -s 100 =====> watchdog instance1, armed=True
Watchdog armed for 100 seconds
admin@sonic:~$ sudo watchdogutil status ======> watchdog instance2, armed=False

Sharing the storage of syncd with other proprietary application extensions allows them to communicate with syncd in differnt ways.
If one container wants to pass some information to syncd then shared storage can be used. However, today the shared storage isn't cleaned on restarts making it possible for syncd to read out-of-date information generated in the past.
NOTE: No plans to use it for standard SONIC dockers and we are working on removing the SDK dependency from PMON docker

The current implementation of SFP reset, LPM, present relies on SDK API. This PR moves the implementation to SDK sysfs. By this PR, it gains following benefit:
1. SDK sysfs provides better performance.
2. Host side and container side share the same code.
3. Code is much cleaner.
- How I did it
Use SDK sysfs to implement SFP reset, LPM, present.
- How to verify it
1. Manual test.
2. Unit test.
SDK/FW Fixed Issues:
• When a system has more than 256 ACL entries, on rare occasion, removing/adding entries may cause some ACL entries not to work.
• When using mirror session policer on spectrum-2, spectrum-3, the actual CIR was 1.28 times more than the configured CIR value
• After warm boot process, when enabling ECN marking and the port is in split mode, traffic sent to the port under congestion (for example, when connecting two ports with a total speed of 50GbE to a single 25GbE port) is not marked.
• Warm boot might fail if the key value SAI_KEY_ACCUMULATED_FLOW_COUNTER_UNITS_IN_KB is set
• If counters are bound to an next hop group, there is a probability the next API calls that modify the next-hop group members will fail.
• In Spectrum platforms Fastboot mode is not operational for Split port with Force mode in 50G speed
• When fine grain next hop group has a size of 2K or 4K members, and group is removed, FW will remove only (size % 2048) members, resulting in leakage of KVD resources
• When reading some port statistics, or bulk reading some Queue or PG statistics, and in parallel reading or writing other counters, FW may, in rare cases, get stuck
• SN2201 Module 1 is considered to be present/linked while no cable/module is plugged
• On Spectrum-3 when port configure to 400G FW might stuck after running mlxlink while 400G interface connected and swap between upper and lower 4 lanes
SAI New features:
• ACL: Added support for an ACL match on the AETH field (SAI_ACL_TABLE_ATTR_FIELD_AETH_SYNDROME, SAI_ACL_ENTRY_ATTR_FIELD_AETH_SYNDROME) to count RoCE NAK and CNP packets.
• PLL Status: Added a new logging entry that alerts the user upon a PLL lock loss event.
• Dual ToR - Additional MAC Address: Added support for setting a MAC address for the router interface which is not part of the 10 bit MAC address available for RIFs on Spectrum-1, as part of the Dual ToR scenario.
• Dual ToR: DSCP Remapping Added support for tunnel QoS maps as part of the Dual TOR scenario.
SAI Fixed issues:
• When setting a WRED profile attribute for a color that was not enabled during the profile create time, an error would be returned. After the fix, a default profile is create on such scenario and the set attribute is applied on top of it
• When calling the flush FDB by using the SAI_FDB_FLUSH_ATTR_BRIDGE_PORT_ID attribute, the bridge bv_id value was filled on the notification callback where it should have been left empty.
