Hello Ashok,
A few days ago I wrote a lengthy answer to the same question in quora, if you want to take a look: www.quora.com/Linux/Whats-the-best-way-to-learn-device-driver-development-on-Linux
Short answer:
If you have an Android device, there is a big probability that the drivers for that hardware have not yet been pushed upstream. Android and Linux differ slightly but enough to force a developer to choose to write a driver either for Android or Linux.
So, a useful contribution and an excellent learning process could be porting Android device drivers to Linux.
