I'm a software engineer who's not involved in Linux Kernel Dev... but I've got a stack of old laptops that I'd be happy to set up to run automated CI if that'd be helpful.
Is there a webpage or doc somewhere I can look at?
(I'm not trying to snark - the fact that you're you and you're here asking for help is making me want to dip my toe in).
Second-simplest thing to do is to run the linux-next branch/tree on your machines and report any build warnings and runtime issues you find. That's what will be the "next" kernel releases and is where all of the developer/maintainer trees are merged together before they are sent to Linus.
Both of those should be very easy to do, and any problems found there should be easy to fix and resolve before they get to a "real" release.
