I've updated this list now. Sorry for the delay!

One item on there that looks pretty simple and would get you started
would be to regularized the use of three different macros that all do
the same thing: replace sizeof_field() and SIZEOF_FIELD() with the
more common FIELD_SIZEOF()
$ git grep '\bsizeof_field\b' | wc -l
30
$ git grep '\bSIZEOF_FIELD\b' | wc -l
2
$ git grep '\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b' | wc -l
291
Which likely means moving the FIELD_SIZEOF macro into
include/linux/stddef.h for reuse in offsetofend().
