No, serdev_device_write_wakeup() is currently not called in this path, which means you cannot use serdev_device_write(). > Why actual we need to call an serdev_write_wakeup() is this > wakeup related to the UART port or for the BT chip. serdev_device_write_wakeup() is where a writer blocked on a full write buffer in serdev_device_write() is woken up.
