The current syntax of X=${X:=X} first evaluates the ${X:=Y} expression,
which either uses the existing value of $X if there is one, or uses the
value of "Y" as a fallback, and assigns it to X. The expression is then
replaced with the now-current value of $X. Assigning that value to X once
more is meaningless.
So avoid the outer X=... bit, and instead express the same idea though the
do-nothing ":" built-in as : "${X:=Y}". This also cleans up the block
nicely and makes it more readable.

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.
