This is pretty common in the drm.  The problem is there is not a good way to get bug fixes into both -next and -fixes without constant back merges.  So the patches end up in -next and if they are important for stable, they go to -fixes too.  We don't want -next to be broken, but we can't wait until the next kernel cycle to get the bug fixes into the current kernel and stable.  I don't know of a good way to make this smoother.
