Usually, accepted fixes are part of a specific pull request that can be
sent at any time during the -rc's cycles, this is the fixes branch.
Otherwise, for regular patches (or "features"), only one pull request
is sent at the time of the merge window, this is the "next" branch.

Fixes are based on the last -rc while features are usually based only
on -rc1. Problem is, when a fix and another change are done on the
same code section, this would produce a merge conflict in Linus's
tree. To avoid it, two solutions:
- take all the patches (including non-urgent fixes) in the -next branch
- rebase/merge the -rc that contains the fix before applying the other
  patches. 

In this case, series applied to nand/next (will be out for 4.19).

Thanks,
Miquèl
