We normally want the bulk of patches before -rc4/5, but we take smaller updates closer to the merge window as well. >> What I want to avoid is a large number of people sending us patches >> directly, which is why we ask for platform maintainers to coordinate >> and aggregate patches to send on to us.

Ok, sounds good. If you have people in the bay area that need PGP keys signed for this, I'd be happy to help. As far as the current DT patches, there's been several sent by different people. Please aggregate them into one patch series and send that (as git send-email is fine) to us to queue for 4.3.
