I don't have a personal preference for which patch stays around so: Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@gmail.com> Just in case. Nathan

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. Jonathan

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.
