mysqlclient 2.2.5 not accept ssl=False on mariadb connector

[AlvinF01]

Describe the bug

Recently, I setup local development environment for django and just install the latest mysqlclient 2.2.5

But it always return
MySQLdb.OperationalError: (2026, 'TLS/SSL error: SSL is required, but the server does not support it')

No matter I set the ssl_mode = DISABLED or ssl = False

Here is the settings.py

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        "NAME": "my_db",
        "USER": "root",
        "PASSWORD": "",
        "HOST": "127.0.0.1",
        "PORT": "3306",
        'OPTIONS': {'ssl_mode': 'DISABLED', 'ssl' : False}
    }
}

After downgrade to mysqlclient 2.2.4 the connection is working fine.

So, I think 2.2.5 has issue not accepting the ssl=False param on mariadb connector
