To be specific, there are several ways to prioritize what to work on.

- There's a list maintained in CI of number of occurrences of
undocumented (by schema) compatibles[1]. Start at the top.
- Pick a platform (or family of platform) and get the warnings down to
0 or close. There's a grouping of warnings and undocumented
compatibles by platform family at the same link.
- Prioritize newer platforms over older (arm64 rather than
arm32(though there's still new arm32 stuff)).
- Fix warnings treewide from common schemas (i.e. from dtschema).
That's not conversions, but related.
