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.

That's a great place to start, why not do that?

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 :)
