I recently wrote some blog posts on this topic. You can check them out at

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.
