Thank you for understanding my situation @Sudip @Dan Carpenter ..
First I have planned to clean all the warning whatever it may be silly
or some serious. So that by cleaning those I can easily understand the
whole process . I was thinking to dig into TODO list and followed by
writing any driver. Greg please confirm me what should I do ? Do i
touch any rtl* ? It is first time I am working with this much huge
project .So may be I dont know what warnings are priority and what are
not ? I felt proud when my first patch was accepted .Execuse me @Larry
@Joshua if I irritate you by sending so many patches in sequence but I
am happy to clean all the staging driver warning first. So that every
programmer can focus on programming only not on cleanpatch warnings .
