It's not a u32 type so this is wrong.

	u32 enabled:1;

But also "true" is better than "1" in terms of a human reading the code.

Perhaps this is from a static checker?  I am also the author of a checker
tool so I know how stupid they can be.  When the checker says something
dumb, then the correct response is to be be briefly amused and not to
slavishly obey it.
