I'd suggest generally not starting out with spelling, grammatical and 
formatting patches.  It eats reviewer bandwidth, perturbs the codebase 
(causing people working on it to have to update their code) and does not 
give you as much opportunity to to learn about the code.

Try fixing smaller, known bugs or adding small useful changes.

The TODO list for the SELinux kernel code is here:

You can also email the maintainers and ask for suggestions on what to 
tackle.
