docs: kernel-docs: add a reference mentioned in submitting-drivers.rst
One section in submitting-drivers.rst was just a collection of references
to other external documentation. All except the one added in this commit
is already mentioned in kernel-docs or other places in the kernel
documentation.
Add Arjan van de Ven's article on How to NOT write kernel driver to this
index of further kernel documentation.
