After that you can look for how to clean up a staging driver.
if i may (since i'm sure i antagonized my share of kernel gurus once upon a time as i was getting my feet wet), start with cleaning up the docs. read up on a subsystem, peruse the code, check the comments, see if there's accompanying explanation in the Documentation/ directory, and either correct obvious mistakes or improve what's there. the obvious advantage to this is that you can't break stuff by working on documentation. and everyone wants better documentation.
