What check specifically are you looking for?  What commit id?

If this is a bugfix, you can make it against the tty-linus or main
branch, as the main branch tracks Linus's current tree within a -rc or
two, and the tty-linus branch has the fixes that I will be sending to
him for this release.

If it is for a new feature, the tty-next branch is what you should make
it against.

If you have any problems with this, please let me know.
