You are missing a testcase.

I think the transform can be generalized to any two-value value-range by
instead of

  lhs = cond_res ? (cst binop 1) : (cst binop 0)

emitting

  lhs = tmp == val1 ? (cst binop val1) : (cst binop val2);

In the PR I asked the transform to be only carried out if cond_res and
tmp have a single use (and thus they'd eventually vanish).

I'm not sure if a general two-value "constant" propagation is profitable
which is why I was originally asking for the pattern to only apply
if the resulting value is used in a comparison which we could then
in turn simplify by substituting COND_RES (or ! COND_RES) for it.
For the general two-value case we'd substitute it with tmp [=!]= val[12]
dependent on which constant is cheaper to test for.

So I think this needs some exploring work on which way to go
and which transform is profitable in the end.  I think the general
two-value case feeding a condition will be always profitable.
