My understanding is that one should never work directly on top of the mainline tree, instead (for this case) on top of the linux staging tree. The same goes, for example, for USB subsystem development in which case i should just clone the usb development tree (and the same for all subsystems).

The tree you are after is Greg's staging tree. You can find it here.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git/
As Greg already said, the branch of that tree you want is
staging-next, also you may like to check your patches apply to the
staging-testing branch before submitting them.
Good luck,
Tobin.
