Makes me wonder where you looked....  You have hex_to_bin() and
hex2bin() in include/linux/kernel.h

You could look at usbnet_get_ethernet_addr() for an example of how to do
this properly.  It's pretty close to this driver in the tree, and should
be a natural starting point before reinventing the wheel...
