Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: rtl8723bs: modify struct field to use standard
 bool type

The struct field uses the uint values 0 and 1 to represent false and
true values respectively.

Convert cases to use the bool type instead to ensure consistency
with other parts of the containing code where true or false has
been used.
