Why I did it
Currently the mellanox platform API is validating the file extensions of firmware packages to be installed for basic sanity checking. However, ONIE packages do not have an extension and as such if there is a "." in the name it is taken to be an extension and then fails the sanity check.
How I did it
I removed the check which ensures that ONIE images don't have a file extension.
How to verify it
Name the ONIE updater file
2021.onie
and attempt to install it viafwutil install fw 2021.onie --yes
