So, there are usually subsystem specific trees. You can usually find them in
the MAINTAINERS file. E.g. for the IIO subsystem it is
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio.git
The subsystem trees can be up to 3 months (one release) ahead of Linus'
tree. If in doubt place your changes ontop of the next tree, which should
have all the changes from the subsystem trees.
