First of all, please do not top-post when replying to lkml email and also, when replying, hit reply-to-all so that all the people on CC can get the answer. I've fixed that now.
For a more detailed discussion on the whole process, take a look at
Documentation/process/
or alternatively at a well-formatted version:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/index.html
Now to your question: forget the "data type fix" - that will be addressed when we touch that code at some point anyway. Pure checkpatch patches only dilute git history and don't really help.
If you really want to get involved, try fixing real bugs like fixing drivers in staging, for example. https://kernelnewbies.org/FirstKernelPatch has a very detailed explanation how to do that.
HTH.
