Apart from the serio-unregistration, all I have left is bike-shedding.
Regardless of those changes, this is:

I'm not very familiar with the serio-subsystem, but is there a
guarantee that .write() will not be called once unregistered? I can
see that it's not scheduled by userio anymore, but maybe there's an
async path that can trigger .write() callbacks. Dunno.. I'll leave
that to Dmitry.

I cannot see why you need to lock the mutex here. The spin-lock should
be perfectly fine, given that you don't check the device-state,
anyway. Also, given that you don't have a shutdown-commands, except
for close(), I don't see why we'd ever need the mutex-lock here, ever.

I know we discussed that before, but I'm still slightly uncomfortable
that we ignore trailing bytes. How about adding a check to each case
below? (see below for an example)

                        goto out;
                }

And same for the other 2 commands. This guarantees that each cmd gets
the correct payload size.
