I know typedef's are frowned upon, but how bad is the following option?
       typedef void*  mbox_data_info
       int mbox_send_message(struct mbox_chan *chan, mbox_data_info

data);

I don't see how that would help.

If it's abuse because the argument is a void*... What if we called it
mbox_data_info?  To say platforms are free to pass data as a pointer or a
value :)

Using a typedef really doesn't change anything.  If you read the kernel
coding style, you'll realise that typedefs are a reason to reject
patches - especially to use them in the way you are proposing.

Try the solution I suggested (which I notice was seemingly totally
ignored.)
