That's equivalent to:
if (fb_helper_connector->rotation = DRM_ROTATE_0)
   fb_helper_connector->rotation = DRM_ROTATE_0;

Maybe:
if (crtc && crtc->primary->state)
   ...
else
   ...->rotation = DRM_ROTATE_0;
would be clearer? Or simply omit it if the connector is zero'ed.

In both those cases, I'd add a mention of the type of enum/mask etc.
for the rotation, for example:
uint8_t rotation; /* DRM_ROTATE_* */
