Thanks very much.

A request to incorporate a few minor changes (I applied these small
changes on the latest linux-next I could find):

2.34.1

(Hope I haven't botched it).
Also, if I may point out, the 'companion' volume to the Linux Kernel
Programming book, covers some aspects on Linux (character) device
drivers, and is somewhat popular.
Moreover, the e-book / Kindle version is freely downloadable (here:
https://packt.link/free-ebook/9781801079518, or on the Amazon Kindle
site). Could this book be added as well?

Book details:

  * Title: **Linux Kernel Programming Part 2 - Char Device Drivers and
Kernel Synchronization: Create user-kernel interfaces, work with
peripheral I/O, and handle hardware interrupts**

Thanks,
