efi/apple-properties: Reinstate support for boolean properties
Since commit 4466bf8 ("efi/apple-properties: use
PROPERTY_ENTRY_U8_ARRAY_LEN"), my MacBook Pro issues a -ENODATA error
when trying to assign EFI properties to the discrete GPU:
pci 0000:01:00.0: assigning 56 device properties
pci 0000:01:00.0: error -61 assigning properties
That's because some of the properties have no value. They're booleans
whose presence can be checked by drivers, e.g. "use-backlight-blanking".
Commit 6e98503 ("efi/apple-properties: Remove redundant attribute
initialization from unmarshal_key_value_pairs()") employed a trick to
store such booleans as u8 arrays (which is the data type used for all
other EFI properties on Macs): It cleared the property_entry's
"is_array" flag, thereby denoting that the value is stored inline in the
property_entry.
Commit 4466bf8 erroneously removed that trick. It was probably a
little fragile to begin with.
Reinstate support for boolean properties by explicitly invoking the
PROPERTY_ENTRY_BOOL() initializer for properties with zero-length value.
Fixes: 4466bf8 ("efi/apple-properties: use PROPERTY_ENTRY_U8_ARRAY_LEN")
