Those have also been taken care of with some Reviewed-by: tags, but they
aren't in linux-next yet:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260517172136.3321-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260517172034.3033-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/
And the conversions are not strictly necessary since 0 == false.
