Message details and related content
The sw_i2c_read_sda() function currently returns unsigned char (1 or 0).
Standardize it to return bool (true or false) to match kernel standards.

v3:
  - Add version history (Reported by kernel test robot).
v2:
  - Fix invalid "Unix Antigravity" Signed-off-by.
  - Submit as standalone patch (detached from unrelated series).

So how does this call:
	data |= (sw_i2c_read_sda() << i);
work with a boolean?

You are right. I overlooked that the return value is used in bitwise
shift operations used to construct the data byte.
Since `sw_i2c_read_sda()` returns a raw data bit (0 or 1) intended for
shifting, `bool` is semantically incorrect here.

I will drop this patch.

Thanks,
Karthikey
