This is not fatal and can happen if there's simply too much noise on the air. Ignoring the calibration error is the right thing to do here, because when the error is ignored, the hardware will still work, whereas if the error causes the driver to bail out of a bigger configuration function and does not configure the tx queues or the IMR (as is the case in reset.c), the hw no longer works properly until the next reset.
