This looks better.

However this will return -EINVAL for any message in the first
iteration.

You can just return 'i' here, 'j' will always be equals to 'len' (not
'len - 1') when this point is reached.

I think you want something like this:

for (j = 0; j < len; j++) {
if (tcs->cmd_cache[i + j] != cmd[j].addr) {
pr_warn("Message does not match previous sequence.\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
}

return i;

Before entering the loop you also have to verify that 'i + (len - 1)'
doesn't exceed 'tcs->cmd_cache'.
