the date for freezing driver patches. The bottom line is the sooner you submit patches and work on resolving reviewer feedback, the sooner you can propose additional patches.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I concur with Brian. I think doing a few at a time will be less likely <br>
to overwhelm the review team and it will help to prevent repeated <br>
comments in subsequent patches if you are able to proactively fix the <br>
subsequent patches before they are submitted.<br>
<br>
Thanks for seeking input on this!<br>
