If the prepare function failed, then it means the descriptors are in the invalid state.
This condition now triggers the reset, which should be further handled by the application. To notify the application about prepare function failure, the error log was added. In general, it should never fail in normal conditions, as the Tx function checks for the available space in the Tx ring before the preparation even starts.
