I will try to. It may come as a surprise but if we want to limit
ourselves to drivers implementing a classical character device,
the number of recent examples dwindles rapidly.
And I think we should stick to such devices to give examples
comprehensible and relevant to as many people as possible.

I like drivers/usb/misc/usblcd.c as one simple example. An older version
of usb-skeleton was the template. It is using urbs only for writing.
Since no driver seems to cover everything we may need two examples of
maintained drivers as transfer performance and interrupt endpoints are
not relevant for usblcd.
