- Also fix Python 3-related issues:
- Use integer (floor) division in config_samples.py (sonic-config-engine)
- Replace print statement with print function in eeprom.py plugin for x86_64-kvm_x86_64-r0 platform
- Update all platform plugins to be compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3
- Remove shebangs from plugins files which are not intended to be executable
- Replace tabs with spaces in Python plugin files and fix alignment, because Python 3 is more strict
- Remove trailing whitespace from plugins files
The `get_serial_number()` method in the ChassisBase and ModuleBase classes was redundant, as the `get_serial()` method is inherited from the DeviceBase class. This method was removed from the base classes in sonic-platform-common and the submodule was updated in https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5625.
This PR aligns the existing vendor platform API implementations to remove the `get_serial_number()` methods and ensure the `get_serial()` methods are implemented, if they weren't previously.
Note that this PR does not modify the Dell platform API implementations, as this will be handled as part of https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5609
