I'm puzzled how did you get this output, since you put "FW status" into
"diagnose" callback fmsg and that is called upon "devlink health diagnose".

First of all, the ";" is just wrong. You should put plain string if
anything. You are trying to format user output here. Don't do that
please.

Please see json output:
$ devlink health show pci/0000:af:00.0 reporter fw -j -p

Please remove ";" from the strings.


Second, I do not understand why you need this "FW status" at all. The
reporter itself has state healthy/error:
pci/0000:af:00.0:
  name fw
    state healthy error 0 recover 0
          ^^^^^^^

"FW" is redundant of course as the reporter name is "fw".

Please remove "FW status" and replace with some pair indicating the
actual error state.

In mlx5 they call it "Description".

Perhaps rather call this "Error code"?

What is this counter counting? Number of recoveries?
If so, that is also already counted internally by devlink.
