goa_even_valid is only initialized in one branch but not the other:

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)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Change the initialization to set it to the value of the condition instead.
