Um... huh?  Neither hex_to_bin() nor hex2bin() are inline functions.
They're declared as extern in <linux/kernel.h> and defined in
lib/hexdump.c.

One call is smaller than two calls, which is why I did that.

It's also faster, as hex_to_bin() *is* inlined within hex2bin()
(if you compile with -O).

Is your request based on a false premise?
