No, serdev_device_write_wakeup() needs to be called from the serdev
driver's write_wakeup() callback (as defined in struct struct
serdev_device_ops).

Either use serdev_device_write_wakeup() as the callback, or call it from
your driver's custom write_wakeup() callback.

Hmm, I see now that the callbacks are set in hci_uart_register_device()
to hci_serdev_client_ops, which is shared by all serdev BT drivers. You
may be able to just add the call to the callback defined there so that
all Bluetooth drivers can use serdev_device_write().
