Not really.

It's more a conceit that consistent uses of direct
boolean variable tests are less likely to be error
prone than variable comparisons to boolean literals.

Many style guides, CodingStyle not included, suggest
avoiding comparisons to boolean literals.

There is a checkpatch --strict message when comparing
a literal true/false.

I tend not to change these unless there are multiple
styles in the same subsystem/file.
