Hi all, I'm completely new to linux kernel development and I would like to make a very first contribution by "cleaning" some files. I noticed that the script checkpatch.pl (inside scripts/ folder) report lots of style errors on some drivers. For example try running ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --file drivers/video/*, you will notice that most of the files contain style issues. My questions are: Is people actively fixing this? Maybe they are not very interested on fixing this typos... Otherwise, could I contribute by submitting patches on this? And finally, if I do so, to who should I show this fixes?
Maybe you could help the Kernel Janitors : http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelJanitors http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#kernel-janitors They "go through the linux kernel sources, doing code reviews, fixing up unmaintained code and doing other cleanups and API conversion."
