I understand now. linux-fpga/master is v4.9ish. I haven't updated the master branch it since I cloned the repo, it doesn't have any special FPGA development patches, it's just what Linus's master branch was when I cloned. I don't think you can count on any kernel.org's master branch to be up to date with Linus other than Linus. Probably because it would be a waste of traffic on kernel.org and you can have multiple remotes on your local git repo with Linus being the one that contains the one true master branch. Right now, Linus's master branch has the latest FPGA API, so it would be a good one to develop on. Generally speaking, sometimes there will be some API changes for FPGA that are only on linux-next/master. I spend most of my time developing on linux-next/master. Occasionally that's broken but most of the time that works for me. Or you could use a Linus release tag from linus' repo. Or Linus' master branch. When submitting, if your patches apply cleanly on linux-next/master, that is helpful and good.
