I'm newbie too. I just want to share my experience for 3 or 4 weeks.
1. Maybe there are no entry point for kernel code. Too much knowlege are
required. Do what you want and learing a subject which block you.
2. There are so many material in Documation/.
3. http://kernelnewbies.org/ is a good website.
4. Try to send some clean-up patch. You cat receive a task in
drivers/staging/xxx/TODO
5. Help other newbies here if you can
