/****************************************************************************
 * Name: netlib_ipv6netmask2prefix
 *
 * Description:
 *   Convert a 128-bit netmask to a prefix length.  The NuttX IPv6
 *   networking uses 128-bit network masks internally.  This function
 *   converts the IPv6 netmask to a prefix length.
 *
 *   The prefix length is the number of MS '1' bits on in the netmask.
 *   This, of course, assumes that all MS bits are '1' and all LS bits are
 *   '0' with no intermixed 1's and 0's.  This function searches from the MS
 *   bit until the first '0' is found (this does not necessary mean that
 *   there might not be additional '1' bits following the firs '0', but that
 *   will be a malformed netmask.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *   mask   Points to an IPv6 netmask in the form of uint16_t[8]
 *
 * Return:
 *   The prefix length, range 0-128 on success;  This function will not
 *   fail.
