For doing these kinds of things I tend to recommend either the last
full release from Linus (e.g. v5.6) or, if you want, the latest -rc2
(e.g. v5.7-rc2). Both are tagged, so you can based your tree on them
easily:
$ git clone ....
$ git checkout v5.7-rc2 -b devel/cast-function-type
$ *do stuff, etc*
