There's another function in the same file called xts_check_key() 
that is used by some of the hardware drivers:

arch/s390/crypto/paes_s390.c:    * xts_check_key verifies the key length is not odd and makes
 [that references it in the comment but actually calls xts_verify_key in the code]
drivers/crypto/axis/artpec6_crypto.c:   ret = xts_check_key(&cipher->base, key, keylen);
drivers/crypto/cavium/cpt/cptvf_algs.c: err = xts_check_key(tfm, key, keylen);
drivers/crypto/cavium/nitrox/nitrox_skcipher.c: ret = xts_check_key(tfm, key, keylen);
drivers/crypto/ccree/cc_cipher.c:           xts_check_key(tfm, key, keylen)) {
drivers/crypto/marvell/octeontx/otx_cptvf_algs.c:       ret = xts_check_key(crypto_skcipher_tfm(tfm), key, keylen);
drivers/crypto/marvell/octeontx2/otx2_cptvf_algs.c:     ret = xts_check_key(crypto_skcipher_tfm(tfm), key, keylen);
drivers/crypto/atmel-aes.c:     err = xts_check_key(crypto_skcipher_tfm(tfm), key, keylen);

It already has one check qualified by fips_enabled:

        /* ensure that the AES and tweak key are not identical */
        if (fips_enabled && !crypto_memneq(key, key + (keylen / 2), keylen / 2))
                return -EINVAL;

Should that implement the same key length restrictions?
