Please make sure to include reviewers on CC when resending, and as
someone else already mentioned, be a bit more specific about what
changes you actually made in response to the review feedback you
received.

You're still using 0 as a timeout here which is broken, as I already
told you.

>From 4.21 this will result in an indefinite timeout, but currently
implies not to wait for a full write buffer to drain at all.

As I also mentioned, you need to to make sure to call
serdev_device_write_wakeup() in the write_wakup() path if you are going
to use serdev_device_write() at all.
