We are missing free(data) when the code returns above, beside I think
it is better to group the code in something like this:

bool notify_append_le16(struct nfy_mult_data *data, uin16_t value)
{
    if (data->offset + sizeof(value) > data->size)
        return false;

    put_le16(value, data->pdu + data->offset);
    data->offset += 2;

    return true;
}

So this can be called for both adding handle and length, it may also
be cleaner to add a similar function but taking arbitrary length which
will deal with checking if the data fits and memcpy.

This was supposed to truncate the data if it was bigger than MTU, I'm
not sure we shall remove this logic or this was actually intentional?
