Are you sure that you want to use fifo8_peek_bufptr() as opposed to fifo8_peek_buf() 
here? The reason for using the latter function (and why fifo8_*_bufptr() functions 
are not generally recommended) is that they will correctly handle the FIFO wraparound 
caused by the drifting head pointer which can occur if you don't empty the entire 
FIFO contents in a single *_pop() or *_pop_buf() operation.

I don't think that it matters in this case because the size of the
FIFO is always going to be a multiple of 4 and all push and pop
operations happen with 4 bytes as well. Am I missing something?

In any case, if it makes things more clear / consistent I can switch
to fifo8_peek_buf.

I'm guess I'm just a little bit wary of the Fifo32 API since it appears that 
fifo32_num_used(), fifo32_num_free() and fifo32_is_full() are written in a way that 
suggests unaligned accesses can occur.

Given that fifo8_push() and fifo8_pop() should assert() upon failure I don't think 
that's possible for Fifo32, but then all my test cases use Fifo8.

If you're confident from your tests that this can't happen then we can leave it as-is.


ATB,

Mark.
