What tree is this against? Here I have:

/*
 * While we find nice hex chars, build a long_val.
 * Return number of chars processed.
 */
int hex2u64(const char *ptr, u64 *long_val)
{
        const char *p = ptr;
        *long_val = 0;

        while (*p) {
                const int hex_val = hex(*p);

                if (hex_val < 0)
                        break;

                *long_val = (*long_val << 4) | hex_val;
                p++;
        }

        return p - ptr;
}
