The only typedefs in the entire driver are those found in the mpi subfolder.  The mpi subfolder contains headers that define the common message passing interface between device driver/application and firmware.  These headers are provided by the firmware group to every device driver and application writer.  There have been several revisions of the headers thru out the past year or so.    I think what your asking is an entire rewrite of all these headers.   I really don't think that is a good idea.
