Netdev works a bit different. Patches can be merged into net-next even
a couple of days into the merge window. A lot depends on the riskiness
of a patch. A new driver has very low risk, since it is generally self
contained. Even if its broken, there is another 8 weeks to fix it up.

However, for this cycle, the PR for netdev has already been sent,
because a lot of the Maintainers are travelling to the netdev
conference.
