It may require multiple reading to fully understand. Read more books
related to unix/linux fundamental. If you have little knowledge of unix in
general(that is internals of unix) and/or OS, the book might be bit hard.
So build that understanding. Your 'C' should be particularly good if you
want to really learn device drivers, so work on that as well. Look at
Robert Love's LKD, it might help as well.
Device driver code is NOT meant for layman it is meant for device driver
engineers, so there is no such thing as easy approach.

If you have doubts in understanding the stuff from LDD, please first google
it and then if you are unable to find any result. Ask the question here on
the mailing list. Always do your homework before asking. Read articles on
LWN.net, kernelnewbies.org and other such sites, they are useful.
