Contributing to the device driver staging section of the linux tree
Hello, I want to re start the code clean up stuff in the staging branch of drivers in the linux tree. I have done this before some time back on the 2.6 branch. I want to get back to atleast start off again (I am learning developing device drivers) to be active in the community. My question is that the latest linux kernel is 3.x there have been so many versions of it since 2.6. So how to decide which branch we should be working on and which is relevant enought in todays time.

How to create patch for checkpatch.pl cleanups
Hello Linux Newbies, I'm one too. I was looking out for some clean up work and I ran the checkpatch.pl script. I came across a file with some 400 errors and 200 warnings. Now there were bunch of 80 char per line warning , braces and related things. I don't want to be sending patches for each and every error or warning I fix as it becomes tedious and If i send lots of correction patches in one go the kernel maintainers wont accept it. I want to know Can we correct all similar errors or warnings in one patch? or series of patches?
