As part of consolidating all common Python-based functionality into the new sonic-py-common package, this pull request:
1. Redirects all Python applications/scripts in sonic-buildimage repo which previously imported sonic_device_util or sonic_daemon_base to instead import sonic-py-common, which was added in https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5003
2. Replaces all calls to `sonic_device_util.get_platform_info()` to instead call `sonic_py_common.get_platform()` and removes any calls to `sonic_device_util.get_machine_info()` which are no longer necessary (i.e., those which were only used to pass the results to `sonic_device_util.get_platform_info()`.
3. Removes unused imports to the now-deprecated sonic-daemon-base package and sonic_device_util.py module
This is the next step toward resolving https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/issues/4999
Also reverted my previous change in which device_info.get_platform() would first try obtaining the platform ID string from Config DB and fall back to gathering it from machine.conf upon failure because this function is called by sonic-cfggen before the data is in the DB, in which case, the db_connect() call will hang indefinitely, which was not the behavior I expected. As of now, the function will always reference machine.conf.
Align SFP key names with new standard defined in https://github.com/Azure/sonic-platform-common/pull/97
- hardwarerev -> hardware_rev
- serialnum -> serial
- manufacturename -> manufacturer
- modelname -> model
- Connector -> connector
Fix the issue when an SFP module is plugged into a QSFP port via an adapter.
- How I did it
Originally the type of an SFP module is determined according to the SKU dictionary. However, it's possible that as SFP module is plugged into a QSFP port via an adapter. In this case, the EEPROM content will be parsed in the wrong format.
To address that we fetch the identifier value of an xSFP module and then get the type by parsing it.
* [sonic_platform.sfp] support get_transceiver_dom_threshold_info_dict
* [platform/sfp]qsfp threshold and beautify code
1. qsfp threshold: tx power
2. beautify code, removing some magic numbers
3. optimize get_present by only reading one byte.
optimize SFP module operations and fix issues.
- split initialization of variant categories of devices and initialize each category of devices only when needed, so that unnecessary dependencies can be avoided.
- update watchdog logic, only initializing watchdog when referenced.
- support platform.py and enable to initialize variant devices on a host/docker basis
- update init so that sonic_platform can be imported as a whole.
* [Mellanox]refractor the sfp event change notification logic for new platform api
remove the standalong daemon which is in charge of polling sfp change event through sdk interface
and move the polling stuff to the event in the chassis daemon.
* rephase some comment
* fix typo in sfp_event.sfp_event.initialize
Variables SFP_VLOT_OFFSET and QSFP_VLOT_OFFSET containing the typo are originally defined in repo sonic-platform-common. The typo has been fixed in PR #33. However, some Mellanox-specific code hasn't updated correspondingly, which results in xcvrd fail to start.
This PR updates the variable name in Mellanox-specific code correspondingly to fix that.
