Please, do not do fix these cosmetic issues reported by checkpatch.pl.
It is not worth the effort. In fact, it is contra productive.
It complicates the git history, backports.

I suggest to find an area in the kernel which might be interesting
for you (any driver or subsystem, ...) and try to fix a real bug
there or implement a real feature.

You might start with reading the related discussions on lkml or
related mailing list, reviewing or testing patches, ...

Best Regards,
Petr
