When this module was written back in May 2015 we were using 1.9.x. Being lazy I added to param the objects that the other functions would need. What I have noticed is in 2.0 exit_json is trying to jsonify those complex objects and failing. This PR resolves that issue with the vmware_dvs_portgroup module.
@kamsz reported this issue in https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/pull/1568

The bigip_api method was changed in the module_utils function definition
to include the validate_certs option but the bigip_virtual_server module
was not updated accordingly. This patch updates the method so that the
error message below is not returned to the user
received exception: bigip_api() takes exactly 4 arguments (3 given)
cloudstack: cs_instance: fix do not require name to be set to avoid clashes
Require one of display_name or name. If both is given, name is used as identifier.
cloudstack: fix name is not case insensitive

Update f5 validate_certs functionality to do the right thing on multiple python versions
This requires the implementation in the module_utils code here

Simplify the code and remove use_unsafe_shell=True
While there is no security issue with this shell snippet, it
is better to not rely on shell and avoid use_unsafe_shell.
Fix for issue #1074. Now able to create volume without replica's.
