Please start with not top-posting and sending html email :)

After that, go through the kernelnewbies.org first-patch tutorial, as
well as the free Linux Foundation kernel development online class.
Between those two, you should have a good basis for working on this
correctly.

Also read all of the documentation we have about submitting a patch.
People wrote that for a reason, don't ignore it :)

thanks,
