Here is an incomplete list of drivers calling serio_write() in a loop:

- drivers/media/usb/rainshadow-cec/rainshadow-cec.c
- drivers/input/serio/serio_raw.c
- drivers/input/touchscreen/elo.c

I can simplify these drivers by using serio_write_length() if you want 
to have some users for the new API.

Best regards
