Status of TODO item jiffies towards end

I am new at this but am very keen to contribute. I thought I would start at the end of the TODO on the web site (hoping noone else thought of the same thing) and see what happens.

The item:

Some drivers do:

        if ((jiffies - data->last_updated > HZ * 2) ||
            (jiffies < data->last_updated))

Should be:

        #include <linux/jiffies.h>
        if (time_after(jiffies, data->last_updated + HZ * 2))

Have a patch for drivers/i2c/chips/*.

It seems this has been fixed because I only found the problem code in drivers/i2c/chips/* in kernel source 2.6.10.

Are there any items that need attention that it is known that noone is working on? What kernel tree should I be looking at?
