Ted,

kernel hackng is not a part of buildroot's scope.

I do not know about a good tutorial or so.

Maybe you want to read "Linux Device Drivers"
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596005900.do and/or the information
provided on http://www.kernel.org/ and http://kernelnewbies.org/.

If you look at the driver's source code it should become clear. If it
does not you might want to think whether paying for commercial
assistance might be cheaper than learning it all.

You could also provide a link to the driver's source code, maybe someone
wants to have a look at it and give you the hints you need.
