Subject: [PATCH 4.13 14/52] thunderbolt: Remove superfluous check

4.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bernat, Yehezkel <yehezkel.bernat@...el.com>

commit 8fdd6ab36197ad891233572c57781b1f537da0ac upstream.

The key size is tested by hex2bin() already (as '\0' isn't an hex digit)
