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.
