The original 1954 film is not connected to the new movie and there is no continuity between them. The events of the 1954 film never happened in the universe of the new movie. However, Ishiro's father's name could still be Daisuke since in Awakening his first name is never spoken. There have been occasions where human characters have had the same names in unconnected films. For example, there is a reporter named Goro Maki in both Son of Godzilla and The Return of Godzilla, plus there are several other examples, most of which occur in Final Wars.

So to answer your question, it is possible that Ishiro's father could be a version of Daisuke Serizawa, but not the same character from the 1954 film.
