I'm not sure if there are any guarantees about the size and alignment of _Bool,
maybe better use __u8 here as well, if only for clarity.

I understand that these are traditionally using the old-style 16-bit
numbers, but is there any reason to keep doing that rather than
making them modern like this?

#define SIOCSSYNCE     _IOWR(0x89, 0xc0, struct  synce_ref_clk_cfg)
/* set and get config   */
#define SIOCGSYNCE     _IOR(0x89, 0xc1, struct  synce_ref_clk_cfg)
/* get config   */
