- Why I did it
SDK patches for iproute2 were added to SONiC tree as a temporary solution.
Now that SDK with the patches is available, I have removed the patches from SONiC tree and we consume them from SDK github during compilation.
- How I did it
During build we download SDK iproute2 patches from SDK github (or from the URL provided by user if compiling SDK from sources) and apply them before compilation.
- How to verify it
Compile and load on switch, verify interfaces network devices created successfully.
Verify LLDP shows connections to neighbors.
Verify ping between 2 hosts over 2 router ports is successful.
