I know that udev gathers this information:

# ll /sys/block/sda/bdi
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Sep 23 09:33 /sys/block/sda/bdi ->
../../../../../../../../virtual/bdi/8:0
# grep SERIAL '/run/udev/data/b8:0'
E:ID_SERIAL=SAMSUNG_MZ7TD256HAFV-000L9_S17LNSADC13325
E:ID_SERIAL_SHORT=S17LNSADC13325

So you could get it from udev or gather it the same way udev does. If you
want to know how udev does it, I can research that.
