rtf_put() doesn't care what the content or format of the message is. If
you're trying to send a multi-byte message, the only possible concern is
that you be sure that when you read it you get all of the data or are smart
enough to go back and read the rest. But if you look at the source code,
you'll see that the writes to the fifo are atomic, that is, interrupts are
disabled while data is being moved into the fifo so there can never be any
"partial data" in the fifo for a user-space task to read UNLESS the fifo
gets full. If you're sure that your user program can keep up with the data,
there's absolutely no worry at all.
