drm-misc-fixes will get pulled into the merge window when it misses
the last release (which would be 5.12). drm-misc-next-fixes is the
special branch which is for fixes during the merge window time, for
issues in drm-next (so for 5.13).

I know that ideally maintainters would just cherry-pick bugfixes to
the right release branch (like on mesa or xserver or well any other
reasonable project), but since drm-misc is volunteer run committers
need to pick the right branch. But aside from that drm-misc is always
open for bugfixes (and also always open for feature work).
