I guess "size = 2" would be better here.

Contents of this conditional is incompatible with the current API.
mipi_dsi_msg.tx_buf contains only data and mipi_dsi_msg.tx_len contains
lenght of this data. Now you try to embed length of data into tx_buf and
this breaks the API. And of course changing API would require also
changing current users of the API.
But in the first place it would be good to know why do you want to
change the API? What are benefits of this solution?
