There is no bool to int comparision here.

There are two comparisons - the inner int vs int => bool and the
outer bool vs bool.  The "!= 0" is effectively an implicit cast to
bool, as is your new_polarity initialisation below.

So using bitwise operators on bools is ok??

It has to be before the gpio_v2_line_config_flags_to_desc_flags() call,
as that modifies the desc flags, including the new polarity, so
polarity_change would then always be false :-).
