What I understood from OP: he was looking for an ICC profile to apply to 
the RAW data at the moment of developing the RAW file (darktable, 
Lightroom, etc.).  

A camera profile NEVER changes the captured RAW data, it is used in post 
production to apply a correction to the colours as seen by the camera to 
get the correct colours in your working colour space (i.e. to transform 
what the camera saw into what it should have seen... ), the same way a 
screen profile is used to apply a correction to the colours from your 
working space to get them to display correctly.

So if you shoot tethered, you'll indeed need a device profile for the 
monitor, to get the best possible display while shooting, but a camera 
profile is of no use /there/.
