This pull request fixes the logic in adafruit_atecc/adafruit_atecc_asn1.py where the issuer_or_subject_length function incorrectly raised a TypeError whenever the common parameter was empty. The previous implementation had a dangling else: attached to the if common block, so an error was raised even when other fields were provided.
The fix removes the dangling else and instead raises a TypeError only when no certificate fields have been supplied (i.e., when tot_len == 0). This behaviour matches the intended functionality described in issue #30.
This PR therefore resolves #30.
