Linux device drivers by Rubini
Most of the books are based on old kernels 2.2,2.6 etc
I wanted to know hasnt the kernel evolved during these times and is it still good to design drivers based on that theory.Since device trees and possibly many other concepts would have evolved and obviously the apis related to them like _of_ apis for device tree parsing.
Please comment- which book to be read or followed?
