I learned from a book called Linux Device Drivers.
It's available online in HTML format. Just use Google.
If you want plain text, ask me off-list.
Unfortunately, the book was written for the 2.6.x kernels, and its age
is starting to show. In fact, I don't think the sample programs will
still compile without some modification.
