It's standard Linux kernel development procedure.

The merge window is not for new code - the merge window is for code which
has already been merged by maintainers to submit it to Linus in an orderly
manner and fixup any conflicts which may occur.

New code which hasn't been reviewed by the beginning of the merge window
and which hasn't been in linux-next for a _reasonable_ amount of time
should wait until the following merge window unless there's a _very_ good
reason to make an exception.
