[f-nsp] Errors from MLX card

[Tomasz Szewczyk]

Hi,

I remember similar case. We had to replace the module (LP). However try
to reload the module first. In our case the answer from TAC was that
they suspect hardware failure. But I also remember the case, when such
errors disappear for a "while" after module power-off/on.
