There is no tutorial for the new API, and as that one is still 
experimental, you should still refer to the BeBook section about device 
drivers.

SCSI drivers OTOH have no other option than to use the new API - we 
don't provide the old SCSI bus manager API anymore. For those, you can 
best have a look at existing drivers.
