Just noticed that the device doesn't have platform.json and etc included. So probably it's support is not implemented yet? Any plans to do so?

We're working on updating the s52xx platforms since their initial contribution to the Sonic project. One such activity is converting them to PDDF. (#18849)
We will also work on implementing platform.json to enable dynamic breakout.

Thank you for the information @jeff-yin. Should I close this issue or leave it for tracking?

[jeff-yin]

Please leave it open, thanks. @arunlk-dell will work on it.

@gechiang I can't assign the issue to people. Can you grant me permission? I'm a dev engineering manager at Dell, so it would be helpful if I could assign issues to our staff. Thanks!
