Yes, it would be better to concentrate our efforts. When I needed to
update the examples to a more recent kernel I had the same problem
than you do. I did find a few repos but they were outdated. I send a
few patches to some of the authors but i didn't have any feedback so I
(sadly) had to start (yet another) LDD3 repo.

But probably the best idea is to think a good example set to include
in the kernel's samples dir. I just don't know what is the policy
about the code that reside in that dir. In the meantime patches are
welcomed so I can include more examples in this repo. I will try to
keep this repo compiling with newer kernels but I probably won't have
to much time to add more examples.
