Hi Ömer,
great that you have so much experience. I recommend you start with the
homepage:
https://kernelnewbies.org/
Go complete our tutorial for creating your first kernel patch...
I recommend to start with really simple patches with only some changes.
Nobody is mad when you just change one place on your first patch. Then
you need to be patient. As the response can take some time. You can use
this time to prepare for the next but typically it is not wise to send
in multiple patches with the same issue. So start simple and evolve...
In case of questions feel free to write again.
Thanks for your support.
Bye Philipp
