I would start taking hints from other devices inf-files and then try
to make sense of them by looking at the documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff549520(v=vs.85).aspx
ChkInf in the tools directory of the WDK gives some good feedback about
possible errors in your inf-file...

[bcc][faked-from]
Probably slightly OT:
Where do I find a good tutorial on .inf file understanding and generation? I'm
an experienced C programmer but with no kernel mode code experience under my
belt. My first attempts at writing kernel code stranded on an .inf file I
couldn't debug.
