Any suggestions for a good way to learn driver development?

It's not that different from any other C development. If you know C you can basically hit the ground running. Just read the sources.

If low-level embedded coding "is not different from any other C development", that's not really a positive remark about C. No wonder that software defects are so common in C code.

What are you expecting to be so different? You call the right functions with the right arguments to get it to do what you want. What language do you use that you can program by calling the wrong function with the wrong arguments?

That's if working from documentation. With independent FOSS driver development, the big deal is the reverse engineering.
