This looks fine, but then you would also have to clean-up all code that
does phydev->asym_pause = 1 and phydev->pause = 1 to use true/false
instead, I am not sure there is much value in doing that for these
fields considering that they are exposed to drivers so there is a risk
of possible breakage.

Thanks!
