Hello,

If you are wondering what would be interesting to work on, you can
consider:

drivers/staging/gpib
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs
drivers/staging/vme_user

For all of these, you can find a number of cleanup opportunities with
checkpatch.  Remember though that checkpatch is just offering suggestions.
You need to decide whether what it highlights is a real problem.  For this
it may be helpful to look at other similar kernel code.  Sometimes it may
be clear that what checkpatch is complaining about is indeed likely a
problem, but it's not clear what to do about it.  At this point, the goal
is to learn how to submit patches, write a good commit message, etc.  So
don't hesitate to make change that seem quite trivial to get started.

Let me know if you have any questions.
