Clang warns (or errors with CONFIG_WERROR=y):

| = 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.
