Hi,

you can follow the description on this homepage:
https://kernelnewbies.org/FirstKernelPatch <https://kernelnewbies.org/FirstKernelPatch>
I learned from this document.

That has some issues because it is not updated in all points but it works. I cannot update because I do not have the permission.

Here the hints I wand to give you:

Do not use:
apt-get install python-ply python-git
Use:
apt-get install python3-ply python3-git

When you use gmail with mutt:
- activate dual factor authentication
- use "app password" for mutt
That is working fine.

I also like to recommend the following youtube videos:
"Write and Submit your first Linux kernel Patch" by Greg Kroah-Hartman - 12 years old but still very valid.

Best entertainment about things went wrong with patches:
LCA13: Keynote Greg Kroah-Hartman "I don't want your code"

Bye Philipp
