Try getting the filename from upload->data()

Code:

if (!$this->upload->do_upload('userfile') ) {
    
//print_r($this->upload->display_errors());

} else {
    
$upload_data = $this->upload->data();
    
$this->venue_chair_model->update_chair($upload_data['file_name']);
  
}

Your code getting me to display my error but not update my field if i am not change the chair_image field update a blank in to database.
if i am change the field(chair_image) it's working properly but if i m not change that field(chair_image) it's update a blank entry in to my database.
my error display is => You did not select a file to upload.
