The purpose of the calibration process is to put your device into a
state that is [1] known (usually through an ICC profile) and [2] good
(to the calibration decision-maker). It's very unlikely that a linear
(gamma=1) state would be good for a monitor, but, as long as you had
some rationale for it, that wouldn't affect the question of whether your
monitor was calibrated or not.
