Isn't u8 msg[] preferable here?

In the same spirit, it is a bit cleaner to change the prototype of
handle_msgs_list().

Like that:

Another solution would be to declare a maximum length for struct
pucan_rx_msg::d. Because these are CAN FD messages, I suppose
that maximum length would be CANFD_MAX_DLEN. struct canfd_frame
from the UAPI uses the same pattern.

N.B. This solution is not exclusive from the above one (actually,
I think that using both would be the best solution).

I only tested for compilation.
