How about this?

for (;;) {
    unsigned int val = hex_to_bin(*s++);
    if (val >= base)
        break;

The previous tests are useless until reach the end of s.
The '\0' will be caught by "if (val >= base)" too.

I thought so too at first， but finally I decided to reserve the varaible "overflow",
because this hack depend on the definition of KSTRTOX_OVERFLOW.
