IMO, It should be the last resort to add driver-specific symbols in testpmd.
Why not introduce rte_flow_dump() and hook the MLX driver underneath?

Hey Jerin,
Thanks for you comments.
What my understanding is this flow dump is very Mellanox specific, it will dump
all flows in Mellanox HW using Mellanox format. They are hardware flows in
short, which are different from rte flow.
I don't know whether other vendor has the similar functionality and needs
so an rte flow level API could be helpful.
And basically rte flow API is based on rte_flow, a dump function probabily means
dump rte_flow itself (i.e flow->attr, pattern, actions).
This is the reason a private API is choosen and driver-specific symbols added
in testpmd as result.

We do have a similar API for other drivers to represent the internal info.
I think, similar API[1] would suffice for your case. We should not
standardize the output of dump, instead, it will provide a generic API
to dump the internal representation of flow HW to file/stdout.
Octeontx2 MACM HW (rte_flow) has similar internal information,
We could implement the driver API if it is a generic API.
[1]
See the below example for eventdev driver.
/**
* Dump internal information about *dev_id* to the FILE* provided in *f*.
*
* @param dev_id
* The identifier of the device.
*
* @param f
* A pointer to a file for output
*
* @return
* - 0: on success
* - <0: on failure.
*/
int
rte_event_dev_dump(uint8_t dev_id, FILE *f);

Yes, a generic rte_flow API (as similar as [1])can benifit both of us. :-)
I'll propose a new rte_flow API for this in v2.

+HowTo dump flows
+----------------
+
+This section demonstrates how to dump flows. Currently, it's possible to dump
+all flows with assistence of external tools.
+
+#. 2 ways to get flow raw file:
+
+ - Using testpmd CLI:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ testpmd> flow dump <port> <output_file>
+
+ - call mlx5 PMD api in rte_pmd_mlx5.h:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ rte_pmd_mlx5_flow_dump(port, file);
+
