I recently wrote some blog posts on this topic. You can check them out at http://tobin.cc/blog Greg is correct (as usual), there are loads of things to do in drivers/staging/* IMHO don't bother venturing far outside of staging for a while, and definitely don't submit cleanup patches to code outside of staging. You can safely get started learning kernel dev process patching staging/* Good luck, Tobin.
