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.

HTH,
