Subject: [PATCH 0/5] staging: rtl8723bs: remove custom FIELD_OFFSET macro and dead code

This series performs cleanup on the rtl8723bs staging driver to align
with kernel coding standards.

The driver defined a custom macro `FIELD_OFFSET` which duplicated the
functionality of the standard `offsetof()` macro. This series replaces
all usages of the custom macro with the standard one and removes the
redundant definition.

Additionally, this series removes dead commented-out code in `odm.c`
that referenced unsupported chips (RTL8723A/RTL8188E).

All patches checkpatch clean.
