Hi Philippe,

So we call char/random code with len=0. Is it safe?
Maybe simply safer to check len before calling hex2bin?

add_bootloader_randomness() is safe for all input sizes, and is
written to be callable with len=0 and have no effect. So this function
should be good as-is; there's no need to special case an unlikely
instance that's already handled by add_bootloader_randomness().

OK, thanks for the clarification.

Phil.
