Most of the books like Essential linux device drivers, Robert love kernel
development,
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?

Hello

I'm a full-time *nix C developer. I have a pretty good idea how
operating systems work. Still I would like learn more about Linux
internals in particular, write a few device drivers, maybe some
patches to kernel itself, etc. Here are a few books I've found:

* Linux Kernel Development, 3rd Edition (2010)
* Understanding the Linux Kernel, 3rd Edition (2005)
* Linux Device Drivers, 3rd Edition (2005)

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year 2016 or they are completely out of date?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?
