I think that the only behavioral change here is:
+ if (ofs >= n_bits) {
+ *checkbits = n_bits; /* Full prefix. */
+ return match_len;
+ }
and updating the callers, which seems good.
Otherwise, I see two stylistic changes:
1. s/plen/ofs/. OK.
2. Change "for" to "while". This one is a little puzzling
because I don't see a need for it.
I'd be tempted to put the behavioral changes in a patch by themselves
(to make it really obvious what's changing), and the stylistic changes
in another, but I'll leave it up to you.
