No, staging-linus is what goes to Linus for this kernel release, after
the -rc1 kernel is out.  It is picked up in the linux-next daily
releases.

staging-next is what goes to Linus for the next kernel release after
this one.  It too is picked up in the linux-next daily releases.

ralink is an old branch of mine that I need to delete that has an
obsolete ralink driver in it that I was working on cleaning up.  Anyone
remember what the command to delete a remote branch is?  I always need
to look it up...

And master tracks Linus's branch.

Hope this helps,
