Subject: lib/hexdump.c: make hex2bin() return the updated `src' address
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
As a convenience to callers.
Not a terribly convenient convenience, as most callers will need to cast
away the constness of the return value. Oh well, those callers should
have been using a `const char *' anyway.
