You can check the TODO list of
http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelJanitors

There is also the reports of various checkers such as smatch, sparse
or coccinelle
which report potential errors.

Here is a task:

grep -n -w printk drivers/ -R | egrep 'KERN_\w+ "\\n"' | grep -v CONT 

These should probably all be using KERN_CONT (obviously you should
check them and look around for other bugs as well).  There are 38
patches worth of bugs there.

Also it's often a mistake to print blank lines to dmesg for no
reason.

grep '\\n\\n' drivers/ -R 

But those are slightly more controversial.
