Probably the most useful thing you could do would be take any Android device (or iOS device with the bootrom exploit) and rebase the patches for it on mainline, clean them up and get them merged into mainline Linux. Same goes for any other device not supported in mainline really, but Android devices are almost always like this.

Along those lines, look at all the dkms modules in any Linux distro and try to talk to the module authors about mainlining, do the work needed if they agree to it.

Also, I have some ideas for Linux kernel things I noticed are needed in my branches of linux.git. I doubt I'll work on them any time soon, so feel free to use the ideas/code I've left in the branches.

Not directly related to your question, but check out the KernelNewbies community and also some of the FOSS internship programs, especially GSoC and LKMP offer paid internships to work on the Linux kernel.

Yeah, supporting Android devices in mainline kernel would be really useful also for projects like postmarketOS (https://postmarketos.org/)
