Hi, I just joined the mailing list. Excited to contribute to linux kernel but finding it difficult to figure out where to start. Any help would be appreciated. PS: I've gone through some articles online which suggest to start with improving the coding style and refer to TODO from drivers/staging/. Thanks -Vivek.

Pretty much anything under drivers/staging is fair game - it's *all* code that needs fixing (if it didn't need fixing to be up to most kernel standards, it wouldn't be in drivers/staging :) Also, you probably want to go read this: https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/pipermail/kernelnewbies/2017-April/017765.ht...
