Ah yes, my favorite, signed one bit integers...thanks for the patch.
Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@xxxxxxxxxx>

grepping for `gclk_enabled`, we see three drivers with similar
duplication (single bit bitfields):

sound/soc/atmel/mchp-spdifrx.c
241: unsigned int gclk_enabled:1;

sound/soc/atmel/mchp-pdmc.c
118: u8 gclk_enabled:1;

sound/soc/atmel/mchp-spdiftx.c
200: int gclk_enabled:1;
