It seems you can also tighten the argument types here a bit more:

- uoffset is always NULL and can be left out

Not true.

in vchiq_dev.c. it is not NULL

This should ideally be split off even more, for in-kernel usage (using the kernel pointers only) and for ioctl interface (that uses __user pointer)
- userdata is either NULL or a struct mmal_msg_context, so you can use
   that type directly.

It can be NULL, struct mmal_msg_context or a integer pointer - if coming through ioctl interface (vchiq_dev.c)

(Checked via checking vchiq_test code)
