If you want to be safe, since not all subsystems are merged into linux-next and some have multiple branches for next version fixes, new features, etc, check the MAINTAINERS file [1]. There you will see information you need. For example for ACPI (drivers/acpi) it is git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm I hope that clarifies your question.
