If the conflicts are just with the GPIO tree then the  "devel" branch
in the GPIO tree is what you should base it on.

If there are conflicts with other trees including pinctrl it should
probably be based on v4.10-rcN and end up in my face, in this case
maybe I should just make an immutable branch in the GPIO tree and
pull to both itself and pincontrol and resolve the conflicts if they are
clashing.
