You can clean this up further by removing a couple of the locals, the
conditional and the division:

while(len < msg->tx_len) {
        size_t to_write = MIN(msg->tx_len - len, sizeof(remainder));

        memcpy(&remainder, msg->tx_buf + len, to_write);
        dsi_write(dsi, DSI_GEN_PLD_DATA, remainder);
        len += to_write;

        ...
}
