Please don't abuse the pointer argument to send an integer.
Instead, pass a pointer to the data argument as intended. As this
is a recurring problem, we may want to add a different interface
to pass fixed-length inline data, maybe
mbox_send_message_u32(struct mbox_chan *chan, u32 msg);
and possibly add a length argument to the existing mbox_send_message.
