There's always low-hanging fruit in drivers/staging. The various drivers there *should* have a TODO. And of course pretty much everything in drivers/staging needs typo fixes and fixing formatting, so those are always easy targets - just don't blindly fix checkpatch.pl warnings without checking that the fix actually makes the code better - there's been plenty of submitted patches for "goes past column 80" that just made things uglier. If you're feeling more ambitious, go through the TODOs - and clean out entries that have already been taken care of. This might not be a good thing for a first-time kernel hacker, as you'll need some experience with git to really sort out what's been done. You should also go read this: https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/pipermail/kernelnewbies/2017-April/017765.html and then ask yourself *why* you're wanting to submit patches. --==_Exmh_1626124365_247945P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Exmh version 2.9.0 11/07/2018 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJg7LBNAAoJEI0DS38y7CIcNL0H/1F+e9OEajA+9Bdhu8xbTIhw ngX/eR2dxZZYtDiPptww8nfo/Tn4+6lK1jzYn0lycxujNxwut6tSXTzDJ5TQLw2Z /zMMoAIMvKH0NwCfOnmEKkjSkoKAEWhH3mXgioDSTa5vZMt5D+EHaybj/62hdH+0 zAkXnxvo/HLufyR9YiFTp3RQfXjPLB7LHG4FM04cclq6mZCqjqnZvny1ji+uCz3S CdHpVQ7xu8lQ5KmzdfJbnQFbGxNP9C+Rqx6EOBN4w+Dcz3mrDRFJ3VibrOk+Ftc+ 7D43g3MhxB8f2Ai8xvEIXwuuQIT0uR+OmEgyAdPxYCxJsYO6BUgU5kifJ8R+Bgk= =Z3UF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1626124365_247945P-- --===============6632503631945255962== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies --===============6632503631945255962==--
