Cc: Jiri 

Anyway, could you please spare some words on what is NPA and what is
NIX?

Regarding the reporters names, all drivers register well known generic
names such as (fw,hw,rx,tx), I don't know if it is a good idea to use
vendor specific names, if you are reporting for hw/fw units then just
use "hw" or "fw" as the reporter name and append the unit NPA/NIX to
the counter/error names.

Now i am a little bit skeptic here, devlink health reporter
infrastructure was never meant to deal with dump op only, the main
purpose is to diagnose/dump and recover.

especially in your use case where you only report counters, i don't
believe devlink health dump is a proper interface for this.
Many of these counters if not most are data path packet based and maybe
they should belong to ethtool.
