[pddf]: Update PDDF kernel modules with 5.10 kernel and fix some compilation (#9582)
- Why I did it
There were compilation errors and warnings like,

/usr/src/linux-headers-5.10.0-8-2-common/scripts/Makefile.build:69: You cannot use subdir-y/m to visit a module Makefile. Use obj-y/m instead.

fatal error: linux/platform_data/pca954x.h: No such file or directory

hwmon_device_register() is deprecated. Please convert the driver to use hwmon_device_register_with_info().

If PDDF kernel module compilation fails, the PDDF debian package was not detecting the break.

- How I did it
Modified the code with new kernel 5.10 APIs.
Modified the Makefiles to use 'obj-m' instead of 'subdir-y'

- How to verify it
PDDF is supported on Accton platform. Load the build on AS7326 setup and check the 'dmesg'

Platform Driver Development Framework (PDDF) is part of SONiC Platform Development Kit (PDK) which optimizes the platform developement.

SONiC PDDF (Platform driver development framework) supports the following HW devices on a given platform:

  • Fan
  • PSU
  • System EEPROM
  • CPLD
  • CPLDMUX
  • GPIO
  • Optic Transceivers
  • System LED control via CPLD
  • System Status Registers in CPLD
  • Temp Sensors

This folder for the PDDF consists of the following:

  • PDDF python utility scripts
  • Generic PDDF HW device drivers in kernel space
