clang points out that 'calculated_time' is only sometimes
initialized here, which leads to incorrect data being
passed into another function:

drivers/iio/common/ssp_sensors/ssp_iio.c:95:6: error: variable 'calculated_time' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (indio_dev->scan_timestamp) {
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/iio/common/ssp_sensors/ssp_iio.c:102:9: note: uninitialized use occurs here
                                                  calculated_time);
                                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/iio/common/ssp_sensors/ssp_iio.c:95:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
        if (indio_dev->scan_timestamp) {
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/iio/common/ssp_sensors/ssp_iio.c:84:25: note: initialize the variable 'calculated_time' to silence this warning
        int64_t calculated_time;
                               ^
The data is subsequently ignored by iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp(),
but the warning still feels legitimate and to work around it, we can
initialize the time in the other case.

I sent a similar change, which is sitting in Jonathan's testing branch:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio.git/commit/?id=0643039b4fee4aa54a233ead15dc0b2286f059d7

You made a good point previously that initializing the variable at the
beginning of a function may not always be the best choice. I don't have
a personal preference for which patch stays around so:

Just in case.

I'll stick to the original, mostly to avoid unnecessary churn.
Apologies for the delay in pull requests making these more generally visible.
Always takes me a while to get one out after RC1.  Would imagine these
will go to Greg and hence linux-next sometime in the next week.
