"import sonic_platform" takes about 600ms ~ 1000ms, it is kind of slow. After this optimization, the time is about 100ms. The benefit is that those CLIs which does not need the slow import sentence would be faster than before.

- Why I did it
InvalidPsuVolWA.run might raise exception if user power off PSU when it is running. This exception is not caught and will be raised to psud which causes psud failed to update PSU data to DB.
- How I did it
1. Change the log level when WA does not work. This could happen when user power off PSU, hence changing the log level from error to warning is better
2. Change the wait time from 5 to 1 to avoid introduce too much delay in psud. 1 second is usually enough per my test
3. Give a default return value for function get_voltage_low_threshold and get_voltage_high_threshold to avoid exception reach to psud

In SONiC thermal control algorithm, it compares thermal zone temperature with thermal zone threshold. Previously, a thermal zone with no thermal sensor can still get its threshold. However, a recently driver patch changes this behavior: a thermal zone with no thermal sensor will return 0 for threshold. We need to ignore such thermal zone.

Ignore thermal zones whose temperature is 0.

Requirements from Microsoft for fwutil update all state that all firmwares which support this upgrade flow must support upgrade within a single boot cycle. This conflicted with a number of Mellanox upgrade flows which have been revised to safely meet this requirement.
How I did it
Added --no-power-cycle flags to SSD and ONIE firmware scripts
Modified Platform API to call firmware upgrade flows with this new flag during fwutil update all
Added a script to our reboot plugin to handle installing firmwares in the correct order with prior to reboot
How to verify it
Populate platform_components.json with firmware for CPLD / BIOS / ONIE / SSD
Execute fwutil update all fw --boot cold
CPLD will burn / ONIE and BIOS images will stage / SSD will schedule for reboot
Reboot the switch
SSD will install / CPLD will refresh / switch will power cycle into ONIE
ONIE installer will upgrade ONIE and BIOS / switch will reboot back into SONiC
In SONiC run fwutil show status to check that all firmware upgrades were successful

Currently the mellanox platform API is validating the file extensions of firmware packages to be installed for basic sanity checking. However, ONIE packages do not have an extension and as such if there is a "." in the name it is taken to be an extension and then fails the sanity check.
How I did it
I removed the check which ensures that ONIE images don't have a file extension.
How to verify it
Name the ONIE updater file 2021.onie and attempt to install it via fwutil install fw 2021.onie --yes
Why I did it
The fwutil update all utility expects the auto_update_firmware method in the Platform API to execute the update_firmware() call and not the install_firmware() call.
How I did it
Changed the method in the mellanox platform API component implementation.
How to verify it
Run fwutil update all with a CPLD update on a Mellanox platform and verify that it properly updates the firmware using the MPFA file.

BIOS upgrade on rare cases cannot guarantee bus value remain the same on every BIOS release. Ignoring this field in order for pcied not to fail but still verify device id in a different way. The solution is future proof and will not require changes in code when new BIOS version is available
How I did it
Since bus is not a fixed value (it is determined by the bios version) we are ignoring this field, and instead checking if there is a device that match on all other fields that and in addition has a matching device id.
How to verify it
Verify no errors or failures in pcied on different BIOS version with the same code base.

The methods get_model, get_serial, and get_revision have been implemented by reading relevant information from VPD and then recording the information into relevant fields.
However, there is no VPD data on platforms with fixed PSUs and relevant fields haven't been initialized, which causes the methods to throw exceptions. which in turn prevents psud from inserting fields into PSU table.
Eventually, this causes show platform psustatus doesn't output correct info.

Manual test and regression
Why I did it
The Mellanox platform is required to support the fwutil auto-update feature defined here
This is to allow switches, when performing SONiC upgrades to choose whether to perform firmware upgrades that may interrupt the data plane through a cold boot.
How I did it
Two methods were added to the component implementations for mellanox.
In the base Component class we add a default function that chooses to skip the installation of any firmware unless the cold boot option is provided. This is because the Mellanox platform, by default, does not support installing firmware on ONIE, the CPLD, or the BIOS "on-the-fly".
In the ComponentSSD class we add a function that behaves similarly but uses the Mellanox specific SSD firmware upgrade tool to check if the current SSD supports being upgraded on the fly in order to decide whether to skip or perform the installation.
How to verify it
Unit tests are included with this PR. These test will run on build of target sonic-mellanox.bin
You may also perform fwutil auto-update ... commands after Azure/sonic-utilities#1242 is merged in.

According to thermalctld hld, each fan must belong to a fan drawer, if the fan drawer does not physically exist, put fan into a virtual fan drawer. This PR is to clear fan from chassis._fan_list
#### How I did it
1. Don't put fan to chassis._fan_list
2. Always query fan from fan_drawer
#### Why I did it
This pull request allows calls to be made through the platform 2.0 API that retrieve the PSU and Chassis hardware revision on Mellanox platforms. Access to these values will aid customers in determining their hardware revisions for debugging and technical support. These values are intended to be eventually exposed through the CLI.
#### How I did it
For the PSU hardware revision I used the existing VPD function calls implemented in https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/7382
For the Chassis hardware revision I parsed the SMBIOS / DMI type 2 information to retrieve the information.
Originally, SFP modules were always accessed from platform daemons, and arbitrary SFP modules can be accessed in the daemon. So all SFP modules were initialized in one shot once one of the following chassis APIs called
- get_all_sfps
- get_sfp_numbers
- get_sfp
Recently, we noticed that SFP modules can also be accessed from CLI, eg. the latest refactor of `sfputil`.
In this case, only one SFP module is accessed in the chassis object's life cycle.
To initialize all SFP modules in one shot is waste of time and causes the CLI to take much more time to finish.
So we would like to optimize the initialization flow by introducing a two-phase initialization approach:
- Partial initialization, which means the `chassis._sfp_list` has been initialized with proper length and all elements being `None`
- Full initialization, which means all elements in `chassis._sfp_list` are created
If the relevant function is called,
- `get_sfp`, only partial initialization will be done, and then the specific SFP module is initialized.
- `get_all_sfps` or `get_num_sfps`, full initialization will be done, which means all SFP modules are initialized.

We want to add the ability for the command `show platform psustatus` to show the serial number and part number of the PSU devices on Mellanox platforms. This will be useful for data-center management of field replaceable units (FRUs) on switches.
#### How I did it
I implemented the platform 2.0 functions `get_model()` and `get_serial()` for the PSU in the mellanox platform API by referencing the sysfs nodes provided by the [hw-management](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/tree/master/platform/mellanox/hw-management) module.
#### Why I did it
Adopt a single way to get fan direction for all ASIC types.
It depends on hw-mgmt V.7.0010.2000.2303. Depends on https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/7419
#### How I did it
Originally, the get_direction was implemented by fetching and parsing `/var/run/hw-management/system/fan_dir` on the Spectrum-2 and the Spectrum-3 systems. It isn't supported on the Spectrum system.
Now, it is implemented by fetching `/var/run/hw-management/thermal/fanX_dir` for all the platforms.
