Why I did it
Update XGS and DNX SAI to 5.0.0.4 and additional flags needed in saibcm-modules
The following CSP's are merged in 5.0.0.4
CS00012182148 [4.3] Rate Limit Parity error message to syncd/sonic.
CS00012178692 [4.3] ACL drops counted as interface drops
CS00012183901 [4.3][WARMBOOT] WARMReboot with active traffic causes port flap reported during warm reboot
CS00012070713 [SAI 4.3 , DNX, 8690] Everflow ACL creation fails - brcm_sai_dnx_create_acl_table API fails, with unknown attribute error.
CS00012023263 [4.4] TD3/TH2 : Support 4 lossless queues(2 SW PFCWD and 2 HW PFCWD)
CS00012019578 [4.4] Pre FEC bit-error rate (BER) - DNX and XGS (TD and TH 50/100G)
How I did it
Changes the various make files to include the new SAI release + update the opennsl-modules.
Why I did it
We hit an issue recently in the chassis bringup where the linux bde attach failed with the following ioctl error.
[ 9058.585960] linux-user-bde (897363): Error: Invalid ioctl (00004c1d)
[ 9105.668237] linux-user-bde (901002): Error: Invalid ioctl (00004c1d)
Debugged with Broadcom team, who suggested to use this flag BCM_INSTANCE_SUPPORT to support multi-instance scenarios ( platforms with more than one asic where there are separate sai/syncd docker instances running controller each asic instance).
This flag was introduced since SDK-6.5.21 and need to be present in SAI and SAI GPL kernel module makefile.
How I did it
Add the flag in this flag BCM_INSTANCE_SUPPORT in gpl modules
