Not quite. If we don't have a calibration cell in the dts, then we
just skip the calibration.
We will only get EPROBE_DEFER if we have calibration in the dts.
Here is the whole function code:

static int sun8i_ths_calibrate(struct ths_device *tmdev)
{
    struct nvmem_cell *calcell;
    struct device *dev = tmdev->dev;
    u16 *caldata;
    size_t callen;
    int ret = 0;

    calcell = devm_nvmem_cell_get(dev, "calibration");
    if (IS_ERR(calcell)) {
        if (PTR_ERR(calcell) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
            return -EPROBE_DEFER;
        /*
         * Even if the external calibration data stored in sid is
         * not accessible, the THS hardware can still work, although
         * the data won't be so accurate.
         *
         * The default value of calibration register is 0x800 for
         * every sensor, and the calibration value is usually 0x7xx
         * or 0x8xx, so they won't be away from the default value
         * for a lot.
         *
         * So here we do not return error if the calibration data is
         * not available, except the probe needs deferring.
         */
        goto out;
    }

    caldata = nvmem_cell_read(calcell, &callen);
    if (IS_ERR(caldata)) {
        ret = PTR_ERR(caldata);
        goto out;
    }

    tmdev->chip->calibrate(tmdev, caldata, callen);

    kfree(caldata);
out:
    return ret;
}
