Looks like the :1 notation was accidentally introduced (this still
uses 1 byte per flag). Using bool instead, which is the common use.

Such cleanups are not appropriate for 'net'.  Only real bug fixes should
be targetted that.

Respin these patches targetting the correct tree(s).

Do you mean posting the two as "trivial" patches?

Thanks,

No I mean posting #1 targetted at my 'net' GIT tree as a bug fix,
and posting #2 targetted separately at my 'net-next' GIT tree as
a cleanup.

This is how we've been doing things for more than a decade.

If the size of the structure matters, you've just made it two bytes larger.
(Although it looks like there is some padding).
