Hello team ,

Sorry for a vagu= e question.

So far I have spent a lot of time dreaming to be = a kernel hacker without doing much , but I realised its geting too late and= now I want to pick my first patch to work,

I have= decided to address the TODO at drivers/staging/grebus/TODO :
&qu= ot; * Make pwm.c use the struct pwm_ops::apply instead of ::config, ::set_p= olarity, =C2=A0
=C2=A0 4 =C2=A0 ::enable and ::disable."
=
To make sure this is a first good patch , I verified that th= ere is traction for this driver recently.

But I am not s= ure, let's say I change the code , how to test it ?

= Any thoughts on whether I should just do a checkpatch.pl change as my first patch ?

Thanks
