any good book resource for device driver development?

Few months back I have acquired "linux device drivers" nu Jonathan Corbet by OReilly 3rd edition which is based on 2.6 kernel. But now, the 5.0.0 is out and apparently samples in the book is not building at all in either 5.0.0 or 4.x.x kernel.

root@<hostname>:~/dev-learn/device-drivers# make
make -C /lib/modules/4.19.52+/build
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.52+'
YACC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c
/bin/sh: 1: bison: not found
scripts/Makefile.lib:196: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c' failed
make[3]: *** [scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c] Error 127

To solve
1. i can try to get antiqurated version of linux distro with 2.6 kernel so that I have a better chance of going smooth through examples but it may come with its own problems.

2. Obtain a newer version of the book that cover 4/5.x.x kernel.
But I dont see any newer version since 3d ed. which is based on 2.6. Any other book on device driver development that has good hands-on coverage with latest and newer kernels?

This issue may not have anything to do with the kernel or even your code:

What does bison --version return on your system?

Lots of threads for this. Google.

damn, fuck it. I have been tricked by this stupid library issue countless times. So subtle.
