A couple of Zephyr driver tutorials and posts worth noting. Casting net wider for Zephyr device driver "How To" articles, find Jared Wolff's blog post:
Here is a link to a tutorial, part three of a series, which may be helpful:
What does zephyr_include_directories() perform? . . .
From Jared's blog post, he mentions in terms of driver directories and file structure the following paths and files:
* ncs/nrf/applications/asset_tracker . . . example Zephyr application path * ncs/nrf/drivers/sensor/CMakeLists.txt . . . example top level Zephyr drivers path * ncs/nrf/zephyr/module.yml . . . file module.yml "in subdirectory of a dependency"
This module.yml file contains:
build:
cmake: .
kconfig: Kconfig.nrf

Before getting too far into Zephyr drivers, important to note the SDK we're using, obtained by git cloning Nordic's ncs v1.6.1 SDK and then executing `west init && west zephyr-export` commands. Turns out west like git supports a status query command:

Driver Data Structures
The device initialization macros populate some data structures at build time which are split into read-only and runtime-mutable parts. At a high level we have:
struct device {
const char *name;
const void *config;
const void *api;
void * const data;
};
Excerpt from file ~/ncs/zephyr/include/drivers/sensor.h:
382 /**
383 * @brief Set an attribute for a sensor
384 *
385 * @param dev Pointer to the sensor device
386 * @param chan The channel the attribute belongs to, if any. Some
387 * attributes may only be set for all channels of a device, depending on
388 * device capabilities.
389 * @param attr The attribute to set
390 * @param val The value to set the attribute to
391 *
392 * @return 0 if successful, negative errno code if failure.
393 */
394 __syscall int sensor_attr_set(const struct device *dev,
395 enum sensor_channel chan,
396 enum sensor_attribute attr,
397 const struct sensor_value *val);
398
399 static inline int z_impl_sensor_attr_set(const struct device *dev,
400 enum sensor_channel chan,
401 enum sensor_attribute attr,
402 const struct sensor_value *val)
403 {
404 const struct sensor_driver_api *api =
405 (const struct sensor_driver_api *)dev->api;
406
407 if (api->attr_set == NULL) {
408 return -ENOSYS;
409 }
410
411 return api->attr_set(dev, chan, attr, val);
412 }
413
From these two code excerpts the big question is, how is dev->api assigned in early configuring code for an I2C based sensor?
./include/drivers/sensor.h:61: SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_XYZ, . . . hmm, this is part of a large enumeration:
53 enum sensor_channel {
54 /** Acceleration on the X axis, in m/s^2. */
55 SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_X,
56 /** Acceleration on the Y axis, in m/s^2. */
57 SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_Y,
58 /** Acceleration on the Z axis, in m/s^2. */
59 SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_Z,
60 /** Acceleration on the X, Y and Z axes. */
61 SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_XYZ,
62 /** Angular velocity around the X axis, in radians/s. */
63 SENSOR_CHAN_GYRO_X,
64 /** Angular velocity around the Y axis, in radians/s. */
65 SENSOR_CHAN_GYRO_Y,
66 /** Angular velocity around the Z axis, in radians/s. */
67 SENSOR_CHAN_GYRO_Z,
68 /** Angular velocity around the X, Y and Z axes. */
69 SENSOR_CHAN_GYRO_XYZ,

^ LIS2DH driver files
Beginning with lis2dh_i2c.c, here we examine where Zephyr driver files for this accelerometer are located in Zephyr's source file project space. We'll also look at how routines and pound defines are factored across these files. Beginning with lis2dh_i2c.c file and its final twenty or so lines, we have a specific sensor API routine, a structure which entails function pointers to all the LIS2DH driver routines in this source file, and finally an initializing function for this driver:
static int lis2dh_i2c_update_reg(const struct device *dev, uint8_t reg_addr,
uint8_t mask, uint8_t value)
{
struct lis2dh_data *data = dev->data;
const struct lis2dh_config *cfg = dev->config;
return i2c_reg_update_byte(data->bus,
cfg->bus_cfg.i2c_slv_addr,
reg_addr, mask, value);
}
static const struct lis2dh_transfer_function lis2dh_i2c_transfer_fn = {
.read_data = lis2dh_i2c_read_data,
.write_data = lis2dh_i2c_write_data,
.read_reg = lis2dh_i2c_read_reg,
.write_reg = lis2dh_i2c_write_reg,
.update_reg = lis2dh_i2c_update_reg,
};
int lis2dh_i2c_init(const struct device *dev)
{
struct lis2dh_data *data = dev->data;
data->hw_tf = &lis2dh_i2c_transfer_fn;
return 0;
}
#endif /* DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY(i2c) */
We also can see the closing pre-processor conditional directive, which pairs with a test at compile time which only compiles this driver API when at least one instance of the sensor is indicated in developer code:
#if DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY(i2c)
LOG_MODULE_DECLARE(lis2dh, CONFIG_SENSOR_LOG_LEVEL);
static int lis2dh_i2c_read_data(const struct device *dev, uint8_t reg_addr,
uint8_t *value, uint8_t len)
{
struct lis2dh_data *data = dev->data;
const struct lis2dh_config *cfg = dev->config;
.
.
.
#endif /* DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY(i2c) */
Ok, so already a fair amount going on here. An important point to note and remember is that routines in lis2dh_i2c.c manifest direct calls to Zephyr RTOS's I2C driver. Most likely this is the only file where, following best factoring practices, we will see and want to make direct calls to this peripheral subsystem.
Along side the calls to an I2C driver there is also a LIS2DH initialization function, lis2dh_i2c_init(const struct device *dev). This initializer takes a pointer to a Zephyr device struct instance, and it assigns a value to *dev->data->hw_tf. We may be mistaken but hw_tf probably stands for in this case "hardware transfer function" given the name of the collection of sensor API function pointers just above this assignment.
This LIS2DH Zephyr init function begins our "chain of search", to learn how developers' or app level code interfaces with Zephyr driver code.
^ Chain Of Search
Our search begins with looking for places where lis2dh_i2c_init(const struct device *dev) is called or referenced by run-time code. This token is the name of the initializing routine called when Zephyr RTOS discovers one or more LIS2DH sensors connected (cofigured to use) an I2C bus. This routine is referenced only one place, in file lis2dh.c where it is assigned to a member of a C structure which is defined via a macro. This macro's name is IS2DH_CONFIG_I2C, and this name constitutes our next search step. Search steps are captured in the table below titled "Table x - Zephyr Driver Chain of Search".

From Zephyr documentation ncs/zephyr/doc/reference/devicetree/api.rst:
185 As shown above, the ``DT_INST_*`` APIs are conveniences for addressing nodes by 186 instance number. They are almost all defined in terms of one of the 187 :ref:`devicetree-generic-apis`. The equivalent generic API can be found by 188 removing ``INST_`` from the macro name. For example, ``DT_INST_PROP(inst, 189 prop)`` is equivalent to ``DT_PROP(DT_DRV_INST(inst), prop)``. Similarly, 190 ``DT_INST_REG_ADDR(inst)`` is equivalent to ``DT_REG_ADDR(DT_DRV_INST(inst))``, 191 and so on. There are some exceptions: :c:func:`DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY` 192 and :c:func:`DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY` are special-purpose helpers without 193 straightforward generic equivalents. 194 195 Since ``DT_DRV_INST()`` requires ``DT_DRV_COMPAT`` to be defined, it's an error 196 to use any of these without that macro defined.
^ Tracing from LIS2DH Sample Source Code
This line of code in the LIS2DH sample project appears to instantiate the code to support a present LIS2DH sensor. The macro DEVICE_DT_GET_ANY is defined in <$NCS_ROOT>/zephyr/include/device.h.
51 void main(void)
52 {
53 const struct device *sensor = DEVICE_DT_GET_ANY(st_lis2dh);
Here is the definition of the macro, which looks itself to include the one that seemed to "dead end" in our search a couple sections above:
282 /** 283 * @def DEVICE_DT_GET_ANY 284 * 285 * @brief Obtain a pointer to a device object by devicetree compatible 286 * 287 * If any enabled devicetree node has the given compatible and a 288 * device object was created from it, this returns that device. 289 * 290 * If there no such devices, this returns NULL. 291 * 292 * If there are multiple, this returns an arbitrary one. 293 * 294 * If this returns non-NULL, the device must be checked for readiness 295 * before use, e.g. with device_is_ready(). 296 * 297 * @param compat lowercase-and-underscores devicetree compatible 298 * @return a pointer to a device, or NULL 299 */ 300 #define DEVICE_DT_GET_ANY(compat) \ 301 COND_CODE_1(DT_HAS_COMPAT_STATUS_OKAY(compat), \ 302 (DEVICE_DT_GET(DT_COMPAT_GET_ANY_STATUS_OKAY(compat))), \ 303 (NULL))

419 Option 1: create devices using instance numbers
420 ===============================================
421
422 Use this option, which uses :ref:`devicetree-inst-apis`, if possible. However,
423 they only work when devicetree nodes for your driver's ``compatible`` are all
424 equivalent, and you do not need to be able to distinguish between them.
425
426 To use instance-based APIs, begin by defining ``DT_DRV_COMPAT`` to the
427 lowercase-and-underscores version of the compatible that the device driver
428 supports. For example, if your driver's compatible is ``"vnd,my-device"`` in
429 devicetree, you would define ``DT_DRV_COMPAT`` to ``vnd_my_device`` in your
430 driver C file:
431
432 .. code-block:: c
433
434 /*
435 * Put this near the top of the file. After the includes is a good place.
436 * (Note that you can therefore run "git grep DT_DRV_COMPAT drivers" in
437 * the zephyr Git repository to look for example drivers using this style).
438 */
439 #define DT_DRV_COMPAT vnd_my_device
440
441 .. important::
442
443 As shown, the DT_DRV_COMPAT macro should have neither quotes nor special
444 characters. Remove quotes and convert special characters to underscores
445 when creating ``DT_DRV_COMPAT`` from the compatible property.
446
447 Finally, define an instantiation macro, which creates each ``struct device``
448 using instance numbers. Do this after defining ``my_api_funcs``.
449
450 .. code-block:: c
451
452 /*
453 * This instantiation macro is named "CREATE_MY_DEVICE".
454 * Its "inst" argument is an arbitrary instance number.
455 *
456 * Put this near the end of the file, e.g. after defining "my_api_funcs".
457 */
458 #define CREATE_MY_DEVICE(inst) \
459 static struct my_dev_data my_data_##inst = { \
460 /* initialize RAM values as needed, e.g.: */ \
461 .freq = DT_INST_PROP(inst, clock_frequency), \
462 }; \
463 static const struct my_dev_cfg my_cfg_##inst = { \
464 /* initialize ROM values as needed. */ \
465 }; \
466 DEVICE_DT_INST_DEFINE(inst, \
467 my_dev_init_function, \
468 NULL, \
469 &my_data_##inst, \
470 &my_cfg_##inst, \
471 MY_DEV_INIT_LEVEL, MY_DEV_INIT_PRIORITY, \
472 &my_api_funcs);
473
474 Notice the use of APIs like :c:func:`DT_INST_PROP` and
475 :c:func:`DEVICE_DT_INST_DEFINE` to access devicetree node data. These
476 APIs retrieve data from the devicetree for instance number ``inst`` of
477 the node with compatible determined by ``DT_DRV_COMPAT``.
478
479 Finally, pass the instantiation macro to :c:func:`DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY`:
480
481 .. code-block:: c
482
483 /* Call the device creation macro for each instance: */
484 DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY(CREATE_MY_DEVICE)
485
486 ``DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY`` expands to code which calls
487 ``CREATE_MY_DEVICE`` once for each enabled node with the compatible determined
488 by ``DT_DRV_COMPAT``. It does not append a semicolon to the end of the
489 expansion of ``CREATE_MY_DEVICE``, so the macro's expansion must end in a
490 semicolon or function definition to support multiple devices.

Interesting call for help from one Thomas Oggiers and responses from one Simon and another person and collaborator tejlmand:
^ Zephyr Standard Files to Amend for New Driver
Starting review of Zephyr driver files in <code>~/projects/embedded/ncs/zephyr/drivers/sensor, file Kconfig is about 215 lines long and appears to source (has stanzas beginning with 'source') for each extent driver. First few drivers sourced in this Kconfig file are:
39 comment "Device Drivers" 40 41 source "drivers/sensor/adt7420/Kconfig" 42 43 source "drivers/sensor/adxl345/Kconfig" 44 45 source "drivers/sensor/adxl362/Kconfig" 46 47 source "drivers/sensor/adxl372/Kconfig" 48 49 source "drivers/sensor/ak8975/Kconfig" 50 51 source "drivers/sensor/amg88xx/Kconfig" 52 53 source "drivers/sensor/ams_iAQcore/Kconfig"
Similarly so for the CMakeLists.txt file here.
