I don't really know why, but the calibration data is optional for
other controllers.
So I just did it the same way.
Here is explanation comment about it from the driver:
        /*
         * 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.
         */
