True, I copied this from drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmmii.c.
But true/false are fully compatible with single-bit values.

The linuxdoc suggests to use true, like for all other single-bit fields used
as booleans:

include/linux/phy.h: * @mac_managed_pm: Set true if MAC driver takes
of suspending/resuming PHY

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
