I think you misunderstood the timing that Will proposed in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/d540aaff-ec6a-3f25-dd79-b27b4ad81b36@bytedance.com/
You should send your patch after 6.0-rc1 has been released, to be merged
into the linux-next tree and sent as part of the 6.1 merge window.
The two ways patches get merged are:
- bugfixes can get merged into maintainer trees at any time and sent
upstream regardless of the merge window, these never need to wait
- non-bugfix patches can get merged into maintainer trees based on an
-rc release and then sent upstream during the following merge window.
