Sure, Greg so happens to have written a reply recently explaining what to do:
https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/pipermail/kernelnewbies/2017-April/017765.html
Thx Greg!
In addition to the above, I'd suggest reading lkml, reading other people's patches, review of those patches by people and trying to understand what they're talking about. And then following through the code to try to see it.
What also really helps is setting up a kvm guest, booting the kernel with it and adding printks here and there and dumping interesting information with them.
Once you start dealing with this, you might spend a couple of decades figuring it all out in full depth. :-)
Oh, and this https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest
has all of the kernel's documentation formatted nicely.
I sincerely hope that helps a bit.
