debugfs: Pass bool pointer to debugfs_create_bool()
Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument, when all it needs is a boolean pointer. It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *' instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient. Over that bool takes just a byte. That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit updating the API. regmap core was also using debugfs_{read|write}_file_bool(), directly and variable types were updated for that to be bool as well.

Boolean values can be placed in debugfs with:
struct dentry *debugfs_create_bool(const char *name, umode_t mode,
- struct dentry *parent, u32 *value);
+ struct dentry *parent, bool *value);
A read on the resulting file will yield either Y (for non-zero values) or
N, followed by a newline. If written to, it will accept either upper- or
