... and if you even asked your AI like I did now:
"how linux kernel developers look at LLM contributions from beginners?"
I got:

"Linux kernel developers view unverified AI-generated code from
beginners with heavy skepticism and frustration due to a massive influx
of low-quality submissions that overwhelm maintainers."


"Rejection of AI "slop": "

"Staging area bans: Certain high-traffic areas prone to beginner
contributions, such as the kernel's staging drivers (drivers/staging/),
have implemented strict policies forbidding LLM-generated patches ...."

Yet you did exactly what should not be done - were using LLM.
