I've found this in tty_ldisc.h:

 * @write_wakeup: [DRV] ``void ()(struct tty_struct *tty)``
 *
 *	This function is called by the low-level tty driver to signal that line
 *	discpline should try to send more characters to the low-level driver
 *	for transmission. If the line discpline does not have any more data to
 *	send, it can just return. If the line discipline does have some data to
 *	send, please arise a tasklet or workqueue to do the real data transfer.
 *	Do not send data in this hook, it may lead to a deadlock.

Does iforce-serio.c have a maintainer? It looks to me that
iforce_serio_write_wakeup should not call iforce_serio_xmit in it.
