Hello!

You can do a git log on the kernel's repo and see when it was applied.
Or do a git blame if you need a particular line of a file.

If you want to match it to a release, track the tags in the repo.

You can use the webinterface:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/

Just remember that because of the distributed nature of git and the
kernel's development model, a particular patch is merged in many trees
before reaching the de facto main linux repo (Linus' repo).
