You should do a checkpatch.pl change as your first patch :) That way you can focus on the process more than the technical aspects of the patch (git, changelog text, subject line, email, submission, revision, acceptance, etc.) and not have to worry a lot about breaking working code or not. After you get the process working properly for you, then move to changing real code and contributing that way. But that's just a suggestion, not a requirement, you can do whatever you want to do :) good luck! greg k-h _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
