You should have krobot complain in the mail.
Subject: "include/linux/iio/buffer.h:142:32: warning: 'calculated_time'
may be used uninitialized in this function"

This was sh compiler. I suppose that we can treat it as false warning.
It will complain whenever the variable will stay uninitialized even if
not used in such path.
