Joe, I am new to Linux kernel and just have basic knowledge of
 C and C++.
For doing more than checkpatches I need to explore Linux kernel more,
so please suggest me some tasks that help me in exploring
Linux kernel, which helps me in building the better understanding of codes,
which I am finding difficult to understand so that I can do more than
just checkpatch.

Thanks,
Simran
