linux-next would usually work.

The most recent Linus kernel would also often be a good base, or perhaps 
any recent branch (of which there are none at present) in:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/swarren/linux-rpi.git/
(
which will hopefully soon move to:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rpi/linux-rpi.git/
)

Which you pick depends on things like how many other patches touch the 
same files, and which branches/repos they were applied in, and what 
conflicts/dependencies exist.
