Opinions differ, but ultimately it's up to whoever is responsible for
accepting the patch, and in the case of ARM SoC based patches, the
arm-soc maintainers.

The arm-soc maintainers close their trees for development changes a
few weeks before hand (a patch of mine which was acked etc by 7th
December never made the 4.5 merge window either, and the alleged
reason I've been told is because arm-soc was already closed by then).
