Not sure if it the whole book is good, but I liked the 100+ pages I read
in Linux-Treiber entwickeln[0]. If you can't read German might be a
challenge but found it to be newer than LDD3.

Have you considered finding a subsystem you like and try reading all the
emails the maintainer replies to? I have tried that several times now
and some of the cover letters / commits feels like reading a chapter in
a book.
