Hi Dave,
> This patch adds a static inline function ipv6_addr_prefix_copy which
> copies a ipv6 address prefix(argument pfx) into the ipv6 address prefix.
> The prefix len is given by plen as bits. This function mainly based on
> ipv6_addr_prefix which copies one address prefix from address into a new
> ipv6 address destination and zero all other address bits.
>
> The difference is that ipv6_addr_prefix_copy don't get a prefix from an
> ipv6 address, it sets a prefix to an ipv6 address with keeping other
> address bits. The use case is for context based address compression
> inside 6LoWPAN IPHC header which keeping ipv6 prefixes inside a context
> table to lookup address-bits without sending them.

if there are no objections, I would like to take this change through the
bluetooth-next tree.
