Yes, we can use 'strtoul' , but my point is that  I think we need these check code even  if we use the code 'strtoul' .
isxdigit(*c)) is need because  *c may be sring "0xrgh" which is not hex.
If we use strtoul  will return 0 for that ,we can not distinguish between error or input is zero.  
'(*size & 1) can be delete, I agree.

	/* Check input parameters */
	if ((src == NULL) ||
	(dst == NULL) ||
		(size == NULL) ||
		(*size == 0))
		return -1;
	for (c = src, i = 0; i < *size; c++, i++) {
		if (isxdigit(*c))
			continue;
		else
			return -1;
	}
