      What is wrong with those as valid "first timer" tasks?  Did you try to
      do any of them?

      What first timer tasks are you referring to exactly ? I've almost browsed the whole kernelnewbies.org but couldn't find any task
      list.

You could run scripts/checkpatch.pl on the drivers/staging directory and try to fix the warnings generated by checkpatch. You could also try to fix sparse warnings once you have the basics right.
