Then I would strongly encourage you to either learn it, or not modify
the code.

Especially as you were not able to build test the patch, which is a
basic requirement for submitting code changes.

Try reading the kernel file, Documentation/HOWTO for pointers on how to
find information to learn the C language, and to learn how to build a
kernel on your own.

best of luck,
