rG97c58ec8702f: LinuxKPI: move hex2bin() from kernel.h to new hex.h
rG98297ff3cfbb: LinuxKPI: move hex2bin() from kernel.h to new hex.h

Summary

New Linux v7.0 drivers include hex.h. Rather than adding a dummy
header, migrate the kernel.h hex2bin() into hex.h, where it belongs.
Care needs to be taken as the _h2b() helper function is still used by
other bits in kernel.h.

I was wondering about that too but I believe it came from the time when I worked on rtw89 off-clock back then.
There's been a few commits around that date related to rtw89 which weren't Sponsored by:.
