I agree those functions should return 0 and 1 only, but my patch fixes
the w1-gpio driver for all platforms at once, so people can use it.

On the other hand, I will submit a patch which modifies PXA's
gpio_get_value() and see what the maintainers say, but I can't go thru
all the implemenations of all architectures to do this.

So for the time being, the above patch helps many users of that driver.
