Realtek wifi 5G adapter constantly logging messages in journal

Im using  Realtek USB DWA-171 5g usb wifi adpter . Since there was no driver that came with the kernel that would work im using the driver from https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU.git. It works and i get 5G speed/However i get the below messages in journal logs and demsg. It never stops.Just goes on and on.
Laso, the adapter is not using the 80Mhz band.Its connected to the SSID of 5G.I have also deleted any saved connections for 80mhz.

I wanted to know if this is will have an adverse effect on the performance and needs to be fixed. If possible,thanks for sharing your inputs.
Just one last thing,is it because its trying to connect to the 80mhz band?
