As the staging subsystem is how this code flows into the tree:

	$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl drivers/staging/greybus/loopback.c
	"Bryan O'Donoghue" <pure.logic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:GREYBUS LOOPBACK DRIVER)
	Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:GREYBUS SUBSYSTEM)
	Alex Elder <elder@xxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:GREYBUS SUBSYSTEM)
	Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:GREYBUS SUBSYSTEM)
	greybus-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (moderated list:GREYBUS SUBSYSTEM)
	linux-staging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list:STAGING SUBSYSTEM)
	linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list)

Then the staging.git tree as shown in MAINTAINERS is the correct one.

But you should always be able to just use linux-next as a default if you
can't figure out what tree to use.
