Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] staging: rtl8723bs: FIELD_OFFSET macro cleanup

This series cleans up the rtl8723bs driver by removing the custom
FIELD_OFFSET macro and replacing its usages with the standard offsetof()
from <linux/stddef.h>.

Changes in v2:
  - Split the series for proper bisectability: the FIELD_OFFSET macro
    definition is now removed in Patch 5 (after all usages are converted),
    rather than in Patch 1.
  - Patch 1: Now only removes unused RGTRY_OFT, RGTRY_SZ, BSSID_OFT, and
    BSSID_SZ macros (dead code not used anywhere in the driver).
  - Patch 2: Split long line to fit within 100 columns. Also added
    <linux/stddef.h> include to basic_types.h to support offsetof usage.
  - Patch 3: Fixed brace formatting issue caused by removing commented
    code. Removed unnecessary outer parentheses, moved the inline
    comment to its own line, and added braces to the else branch for
    consistent style.
  - Patch 5 (NEW): Remove FIELD_OFFSET definition now that it's unused.
