Bug#728535: debian-kernel-handbook: document rebuilding a single kernel module



Package: debian-kernel-handbook
Version: 1.0.15
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

The Debian kernel handbook has a chapter "Common kernel-related tasks".
Which has paragraphs as "Rebuilding official Debian kernel packages",
"Building a custom kernel from Debian kernel source"
and "Building out-of-tree kernel modules".

But I miss a paragraph how to (re)build a single kernel module.

Typical use case is having a USB device with a supported chip set,
but USB-IDs not enumerated in the driver.

In other words:
How to do simple driver development as adding USB-IDs?

Please document which steps should be taken to have
only a single module compiled that can be "insmod" to
the Debian kernel.
