Due to the fact that the kernel-side data structures have been carried over from the ioctl-based ethtool, we are now in the situation where we have an ethnl_update_bool32() function, but the plain function that operates on a boolean value kept in an actual u8 netlink attribute doesn't exist. With new ethtool features that are exposed solely over netlink, the kernel data structures will use the "bool" type, so we will need this kind of helper. Introduce it now; it's needed for things like verify-disabled for the MAC merge configuration. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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 Restructured Text 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.
