Hello!

I think people appreciate your enthusiasm. I do think that knowing C
programming is a prerequisite. So you need to start with that.
For the theory, if you want to start learning how the kernel works, I
recommend the book Linux Kernel Development [1] by Robert Love.
Another thing I would give you is this video [2] to know how to submit
your first patch.
