Comfort,

The comedi driver isn't part of staging. You can see who looks after it 
in the MAINTAINERS file
or with:

   ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/comedi/comedi_fops.c

That lists Ian Abbott and H Hartley Sweeten as maintainers, with
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org as the list.

There's no dedicated patchwork for comedi. Some subsystems do have one.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/

Drivers outside staging have different
expectations. A clean-up style fix may not warrant a change.

You can still send it if you'd like to see that change in the driver, 
but I think it could be separate from Outreachy and staging.

Good luck with your next patch.

Jeremy
