cppcheck code inspect fails on samd boards

Configuration

Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04 5.4.0-73-generic #82-Ubuntu x86_64 x

PlatformIO Version (platformio --version): PlatformIO Core, version 5.1.1

Description of problem

When Inspect (pio check -v) is run against a SAMD based project the cppcheck code analysis fails with the following error:

Error: Found a breaking defect 'failed to expand 'SAMD_SERIES', Invalid ## usage when expanding 'part_is_defined'.' in /home/jimh/.platformio/packages/framework-cmsis-atmel/CMSIS/Device/ATMEL/sam.h:32
Please note: check results might not be valid!
Try adding --skip-packages

"severity=error<&PIO&>message=failed to expand 'SAMD_SERIES', Invalid ## usage when expanding 'part_is_defined'.<&PIO&>file=/home/jimh/.platformio/packages/framework-cmsis-atmel/CMSIS/Device/ATMEL/sam.h<&PIO&>line=32<&PIO&>column=0<&PIO&>callstack=[/home/jimh/.platformio/packages/framework-cmsis-atmel/CMSIS/Device/ATMEL/sam.h:32]<&PIO&>cwe=0<&PIO&>id=preprocessorErrorDirective"

Running check with --skip-packages works (pio check -v --skip-packages):

Attached zip file has a minimal project that is able to reproduce the problem. It has two environments setup; one for an UNO and one for a SAMD (Adafruit Feather M0).

Uno env wil pass cppcheck / SAMD fails.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open attached project
2. Run Inspect or pio check
3. Error occurs on SAMD

Actual Results

See above

Expected Results

Expect check using cppcheck to complete without failure

Source file to reproduce issue:

/**
 * Blink
 *
 * Turns on an LED on for one second,
 * then off for one second, repeatedly.
 */
#include "Arduino.h"

const int delayTime =1000;

// Set LED_BUILTIN if it is not defined by Arduino framework
// #define LED_BUILTIN 13

void setup()
{
  // initialize LED digital pin as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);

  // wait for a second
  delay(delayTime);

  // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);

   // wait for a second
  delay(delayTime);
}
