+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::

The fw reporter implements diagnose and dump callbacks.
