What I did
Extend create_ports() supported attribute list with FEC, TPID, asymetric PFC configuration.
Why I did it
On platforms which start with no ports on fast-reboot
sai_port_api->create_ports()
is called as it is much more efficient to configure desired port attributes rather then have SAI driver to create default ports with default SAI attribute settings as required by SAI spec. Therefore, the most effective approach is to create ports and pass as much configuration at the time of port creation and not have to callsai_port_api->set_port_attribute
for every attribute that needs to change its value.How I verified it
Manual tests, unit tests, run fast-reboot test.
