The best idea is to look into Robert's tutorial, they are very good and comprehensive.
I had looked at them the free lessons.I told you that I have written my own device driver already.So probably that is not what I am aiming at.I have also read the book of "essential linux device drivers by sreekrishnan venkateswaran"I did go through the first four chapters and last 2 of debugging.Rest of the chapters discuss these drivers in detail aswhat function is used to do them etc etc.Instead I am looking for some thingSuppose you learned C programming.You know how to program now you want to have some good depth of it so you start solving somebrain teasers so that you get a good depth of backtracking and other things.Similarly if I am clear with how to write a device driver I am looking for some more exercises but not directly jumping to main kernel development to write my patch instead some thing in between a novice and an expert.
pick up practical C programming book
learn some user space programming using either Robert love's book or beginning linux programming by richard mattew and stones
learn about coding standards and coding practices: use Rob pikes book.
get source code of older kernels say 1.0 and look into it or may be get Tannebaum's minix book: not may people will agree to this, but i find this book very useful.
