A common idiom we use for this is:
return !!(read_bits & (1ull << offset));
I hate that idiom, but if its use is a condition of accepting the patch,
I will change it.
Or use an even more common idiom and change the
function to return bool and let the compiler do it.
... but it is part of the gpiochip system interface, so it would have to
be done kernel wide.
Really I don't like the idea of GPIO lines having Boolean truth values
associated with them. Some represent things that are active-high and
others active-low. Converting the pin voltage being above or below a
given threshold to something other than zero or one would in my opinion
be confusing.
