Hello Aleksander,

I only know LDD 3:

* Linux Device Drivers, 3rd Edition (2005)

Since this book is freely available in PDF, I would advise you to read it.
It is out-dated (in sense you won't compile snippets as is) but it is well
written, and pleasant to read.

The version 4 was scheduled for dec 2015 iirc, but is now annonced for nov 2017
on O'Reilly's website.

Could you tell me please, are these books considered worth reading in
year 2016 or they are completely out of date? Perhaps there are some
newer books and/or tutorials you could recommend?

That's an interesting question, I'm willing to know the opinion of
other members of kernelnewbies on those books, and others they would recommand.
