I'm definitely willing; however, I don't know the hardware, so I'm already off to a bad start with questions like "which integer type is appropriate for the register address?" > Oh, refactoring, that's a whole 'nother story.

I think this makes the most sense right now. A pure trivial change is what I'd like, to help get some experience with the development process and working with the community. I'll look for something else (hopefully within the same staging driver, since you've all been super welcoming) and submit a patch for it. Hopefully I'll circle back for some slightly less trivial refactors after that! Thanks for your feedback!
