The thing with this, is you don't really know in advance if the window
is going to be busy or not - you could end up getting a bunch of trivial
stuff pop up at a later -rc etc. I'd rather patches that ready to be
picked up didn't end up sitting un-applied on the list, until you figure
whether there has been enough to justify a PR or not.
If there is only one or two, you can always send the PR as a series of
patches, rather than creating a tag etc.

Could you please add a git tree to the MAINTAINERS entry & get it added
to linux-next? You should probably add another X: line to the MISC SOC
SUPPORT entry in the same patch.
Also, RISC-V is give-or-take clean for dtbs_check w/ W=1, please keep it
that way! I do keep an eye on it in linux-next, so if your tree is added
there, I'll at least see if changes in other parts of the kernel cause
warnings to spring up.
