net/mlx5: Consolidate devlink documentation in devlink/mlx5.rst

De-duplicate documentation by removing mellanox/mlx5/devlink.rst. Instead,
only use the generic devlink documentation directory to document mlx5
devlink parameters. Avoid providing general devlink tool usage information
in mlx5-specific documentation.

+Health reporters
+================
+
+tx reporter
+-----------
+The tx reporter is responsible for reporting and recovering of the following two error scenarios:
+
+- tx timeout
+    Report on kernel tx timeout detection.
+    Recover by searching lost interrupts.
+- tx error completion
+    Report on error tx completion.
+    Recover by flushing the tx queue and reset it.
+
+tx reporter also support on demand diagnose callback, on which it provides
+real time information of its send queues status.
+
+User commands examples:
+
+- Diagnose send queues status::
+
+    $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter tx
+
+.. note::
+   This command has valid output only when interface is up, otherwise the command has empty output.
+
+- Show number of tx errors indicated, number of recover flows ended successfully,
+  is autorecover enabled and graceful period from last recover::
+
+    $ devlink health show pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter tx
+
+rx reporter
+-----------
+The rx reporter is responsible for reporting and recovering of the following two error scenarios:
+
+- rx queues' initialization (population) timeout
+    Population of rx queues' descriptors 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
+    descriptors could be recovered 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.
+
+- Show number of rx errors indicated, number of recover flows ended successfully,
+  is autorecover enabled, and graceful period from last recover::
+
+    $ devlink health show pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter rx
+
+fw reporter
+-----------
+The fw reporter implements `diagnose` and `dump` callbacks.
+It follows symptoms of fw error such as fw syndrome by triggering
+fw core dump and storing it into the dump buffer.
+The fw reporter diagnose command can be triggered any time by the user to check
+current fw status.
+
+User commands examples:
+
+- Check fw heath status::
+
+    $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter fw
+
+- Read FW core dump if already stored or trigger new one::
+
+    $ devlink health dump show pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter fw
+
+.. note::
+   This command can run only on the PF which has fw tracer ownership,
+   running it on other PF or any VF will return "Operation not permitted".
+
+fw fatal reporter
+-----------------
+The fw fatal reporter implements `dump` and `recover` callbacks.
+It follows fatal errors indications by CR-space dump and recover flow.
+The CR-space dump uses vsc interface which is valid even if the FW command
+interface is not functional, which is the case in most FW fatal errors.
+The recover function runs recover flow which reloads the driver and triggers fw
+reset if needed.
+On firmware error, the health buffer is dumped into the dmesg. The log
+level is derived from the error's severity (given in health buffer).
+
+User commands examples:
+
+- Run fw recover flow manually::
+
+    $ devlink health recover pci/0000:82:00.0 reporter fw_fatal
+
+- Read FW CR-space dump if already stored or trigger new one::
+
+    $ devlink health dump show pci/0000:82:00.1 reporter fw_fatal
+
+.. note::
+   This command can run only on PF.
+
+vnic reporter
+-------------
+The vnic reporter implements only the `diagnose` callback.
+It is responsible for querying the vnic diagnostic counters from fw and displaying
+them in realtime.
+
+Description of the vnic counters:
+
+- total_q_under_processor_handle
+        number of queues in an error state due to
+        an async error or errored command.
+- send_queue_priority_update_flow
+        number of QP/SQ priority/SL update events.
+- cq_overrun
+        number of times CQ entered an error state due to an overflow.
+- async_eq_overrun
+        number of times an EQ mapped to async events was overrun.
+        comp_eq_overrun number of times an EQ mapped to completion events was
+        overrun.
+- quota_exceeded_command
+        number of commands issued and failed due to quota exceeded.
+- invalid_command
+        number of commands issued and failed dues to any reason other than quota
+        exceeded.
+- nic_receive_steering_discard
+        number of packets that completed RX flow
+        steering but were discarded due to a mismatch in flow table.
+- generated_pkt_steering_fail
+	number of packets generated by the VNIC experiencing unexpected steering
+	failure (at any point in steering flow).
+- handled_pkt_steering_fail
+	number of packets handled by the VNIC experiencing unexpected steering
+	failure (at any point in steering flow owned by the VNIC, including the FDB
+	for the eswitch owner).
+
+User commands examples:
+
+- Diagnose PF/VF vnic counters::
+
+        $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.1 reporter vnic
+
+- Diagnose representor vnic counters (performed by supplying devlink port of the
+  representor, which can be obtained via devlink port command)::
+
+        $ devlink health diagnose pci/0000:82:00.1/65537 reporter vnic
+
+.. note::
+   This command can run over all interfaces such as PF/VF and representor ports.
