Minor nit:
I prefer that all code and outputs in iproute2 look the same for ease
of maintenance and constituency of user experience.

Why does devlink not use:

static void cmd_health_help(void)
{
	fprintf(stderr, "Usage: devlink health show [ dev DEV reporter REPORTER_NAME ]\n");
	fprintf(stderr, "       devlink health recover DEV reporter REPORTER_NAME\n");
	fprintf(stderr, "       devlink health diagnose DEV reporter REPORTER_NAME\n");

...

Or 
	fprintf(stderr, "Usage: devlink health show [ dev DEV reporter REPORTER_NAME ]\n"
			"       devlink health recover DEV reporter REPORTER_NAME\n"	
			"       devlink health diagnose DEV reporter REPORTER_NAME\n");
