To make tx4810 ONLP working with kernel 5.10, it needs to update MFT PCI drivers, or the Linux boot up message will show the errors like below, which means the device node of "/dev/mst/mt52100_pciconf0" is failed to create.

ioctl (PCICONF_INIT): Inappropriate ioctl for device
ioctl (PCI_INIT): Inappropriate ioctl for device
cat: /dev/mst/mt52100_pci_cr0: No such file or directory
ioctl (PCICONF_INIT): Inappropriate ioctl for device
ioctl (PCI_INIT): Inappropriate ioctl for device
cat: /dev/mst/mt52100_pci_cr0: No such file or directory
ioctl (PCICONF_INIT): Inappropriate ioctl for device
ioctl (PCI_INIT): Inappropriate ioctl for device
cat: /dev/mst/mt52100_pci_cr0: No such file or directory

To fix this, we can update the MFT PCI drivers to latest version 4.16.3 from Mellanox official website: https://www.mellanox.com/products/adapter-software/firmware-tools

And here is the final patch (I will make another new PR if this patch won't be applied at this time): 0001-Update-MFT-PCI-drivers-to-latest-version-4.16.3-on-tx4810.txt

The test log shows tx4810 ONLP works fine using MFT PCI driver v4.16.3: dentOS_tx4810_test_onlp_with_mft_pci_driver_v4.16.3_20210401.log
