Actually, downcasing true and false in this driver is pretty much a retrograde step. The reason for their being uppercased is that they represent constants (and uppercase is the traditional defined constant specifier).
When discussion about TRUE and FALSE came up a long time a go in the context of the mid layer we agreed to strip the defined constants out of that code and just go with 1 and 0 inline ... because the code was pretty much being rewritten. We also decided to encourage but not force the driver writers simply to use 1 and 0 as well ... a lot of people are deeply wedded to the TRUE and FALSE defines, it turned out.
