+rx reporter
+-----------
+The rx reporter is responsible for reporting and recovering of the following two error scenarios:
+
+- RX queues initialization (population) timeout
+    RX queues descriptors population on ring initialization is done in
+    napi context via triggering an irq, in case of a failure to get
+    the minimum amount of descriptors, a timeout would occur and it
+    could be recoverable by polling the EQ (Event Queue).
+- RX completions with errors (reported by HW on interrupt context)
+    Report on rx completion error.
+    Recover (if needed) by flushing the related queue and reset it.
+
+RX reporter also supports on demand diagnose callback, on which it
+provides real time information of its receive queues status.
+
+- Diagnose rx queues status, and corresponding completion queue::
+
+    $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter rx

+NOTE: This command has valid output only when interface is up, otherwise the command has empty output.

 fw reporter
 -----------
 The fw reporter implements diagnose and dump callbacks.
