Changes from #632 is causing BRCM DUT not able to bootup.
The newly introduced getSwithType at SONiC boot time to support BRCM GearBox SAI is not yet supported by ASIC SAI result to error that causes Orchagent termination at boot up.
This workaround is added to default the switch type to NPU in case receiving a failure from the SAI call so that BRCM DUT can boot up successfully.
I have validated this change using the Force10-S6000 (BRCM ASIC).
