Why not to do it right now?

Then the code could look like this:

src_subdev = tegra_channel_get_remote_source_subdev(chan);
ret = v4l2_subdev_call(src_subdev, video, s_stream, true);
err = tegra_mipi_finish_calibration(csi_chan->mipi);

if (ret < 0 && ret != -ENOIOCTLCMD)
	goto err_disable_csi_stream;

if (err < 0)
	dev_warn(csi_chan->csi->dev,
		 "MIPI calibration failed: %d\n", err);

72us is quite a lot of time, what will happen if LP-11 happens before
FSM finished calibration?

Maybe the finish_calibration() needs to split into two parts:

 1. wait for CAL_STATUS_ACTIVE before enabling sensor
 2. wait for CAL_STATUS_DONE after enabling sensor
