Johnson's work Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2016 12:10:30 +0100 Message-Id: <1459422630-23868-1-git-send-email-luisbg@osg.samsung.com> X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.5.1 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org The URL for "Writing Linux Device Drivers" hasn't been available in some time. Updating the entry to Michael K. Johnson's "Linux Kernel Hackers' Guide" Signed-off-by: Luis de Bethencourt --- Hi, I agree with Jon that changing the URL to a different work of the same author isn't the best idea. The three options we have IMHO are: - replace the entry with KHG (the patch below) - remove the entry altogether if the KHG is not interesting to be listed - leave "Writing Linux Device Drivers" as is with the broken URL so people can try to find the document elsewhere. I didn't manage to find it.
