Are these books outdated?

[Raul Piper]

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?
