I suspect it is lib/ since it is holds tests for library functions,
although hex_to_bin() is an inline function.

Better to put tests in another dir. Maybe test/image ?

You can run an individual test with something like:

/tmp/b/sandbox/u-boot  -d /tmp/b/sandbox/arch/sandbox/dts/test.dtb  -c
"ut dm lib_test_bin2hex"

where /tmp/b/sandbox is the build directory for sandbox.
