Hi,

I have spent almost 10 years for writing device drivers so i want to
contribute to linux kernel. There are some pmic drivers from Texas
Instruments like bq24190 etc in the linux source tree. Would  writing
driver for bq25120a be helpful or should i begin with bit little like
fixing some coverity bugs?

Best Regards...

Hi Ömer,

great that you have so much experience. I recommend you start with the homepage:

https://kernelnewbies.org/
Go complete our tutorial for creating your first kernel patch...

I recommend to start with really simple patches with only some changes. Nobody is mad when you just change one place on your first patch. Then you need to be patient. As the response can take some time. You can use this time to prepare for the next but typically it is not wise to send in multiple patches with the same issue. So start simple and evolve...

In case of questions feel free to write again.

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp
