Why I did it
To add support for CPO (Co-Packaged Optics) on Mellanox platforms.
Unlike traditional pluggable transceivers, CPO modules are integrated directly next to the ASIC. This design is becoming increasingly important in high-speed systems, as it enables better signal integrity, lower latency, and reduced power consumption.

How I did it
Implemented platform API-level support for CPO by introducing a new class to represent CPO modules and updating the chassis initialization flow to create CpoPort objects for all ports identified as CPO.
Since CPO is not yet part of the CMIS standard, port identification is currently based on the hwsku.json file (to be upstreamed later) rather than on module EEPROM data (planned for future updates).
In the relevant platform SKU file, each CPO port should include the following field:
{ "interfaces": { "Ethernet0": { "default_brkout_mode": "2x400G[200G]", "port_type": "CPO" }, "Ethernet8": { "default_brkout_mode": "2x400G[200G]", "port_type": "CPO" }, "Ethernet16": { "default_brkout_mode": "2x400G[200G]", "port_type": "CPO" } } }How to verify it
