I think newer version is better, Most of the fundamentals remain same
throughout but you have to dig around a bit to find out what exactly
changed.
Even if you choose an older version, you would still have to work your way
upwards to newer kernel(provided you are thinking of contributing to
upstream).
Adapting examples would be pretty good idea, though it may require some
work if you are not very familiar with the basics. Reading mailing lists,
kernelnewbie site and LWN articles should also be helpful.
