Our device has a fw_reset health reporter, which is updated on reset
events and firmware activation is one among them. All non-fatal
firmware reset events are reported on fw_reset health reporter.

Though user initiate "devlink dev reload" event on a single interface,
all driver entities undergo reset and all entities recover
independently. I don't think we can block the reload_up() on the
interface(that user initiated the command), until whole reset is
complete.
