Hi Jose, please keep in mind that the tasks Dan stated above are good for beginners. As soon as you get used with the Linux way of doing things, you should move on to more complex things. AFAICT, no one I have heard of became a kernel hacker by doing cleanups or changing code to silence the compiler. In addition, it's not enjoyable either, meaning that you would soon get tired of doing cleanups and alike. I would also recommend reading the Linux Device Drivers book, so as to provide you with some background on how Linux works from a general perspective and also how device drivers are written, then allowing you to move on and do cool stuff.
