Hmm. Well I just tried to fix what was already there. gpio-lib does
NOT return 0 or 1, it returns 0 or 1 shifted by the gpio position in a
gpio register, but soemthing has to convert that to a boolean value.
Making it return a bool doesn't change the fact it needs the '!!' applied
to make it a bool.
I can look at changing the mdio-gpio to using bool instead of integer
where necesary.
