This one seems fine, but another use of vbool in ice still exists

drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_devlink.c:617:       value.vbool = test_bit(ICE_FLAG_RDMA_ENA, pf->flags) ? true : false;

Curiously, the vbool is defined in a union so it's possible
for the vbool value in the union to not just be 0 or 1.
