Clang warns (or errors with CONFIG_WERROR=y):
drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-himax-hx8279.c:838:6: error: variable 'goa_even_valid' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
838 | if (num_zero == ARRAY_SIZE(desc->goa_even_timing))
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-himax-hx8279.c:842:23: note: uninitialized use occurs here
842 | if (goa_odd_valid != goa_even_valid)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-himax-hx8279.c:838:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
838 | if (num_zero == ARRAY_SIZE(desc->goa_even_timing))
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
839 | goa_even_valid = false;
drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-himax-hx8279.c:818:36: note: initialize the variable 'goa_even_valid' to silence this warning
818 | bool goa_odd_valid, goa_even_valid;
| ^
| = 0
Even though only the even valid variable gets flagged, both valid
variables appear to have the same issue of possibly being used
uninitialized if the if statement initializing them to false is not
taken.
Turn the if statement then variable assignment into a single variable
assignment, which states that the configuration is valid when there are
not all zeros, clearing up the warning since the variable will always be
initialized.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
