The merge window ends when -rc1 is released.

Probably sparse and smatch fixes are not appropriate for 3.12.  Although
sometimes those checkers do find serious bugs.

I don't want to speak for Greg but generally you can send any sort of
patch any time.  It's just that it's going to sit in Greg's inbox if you
send it during the merge window.

Normally when -rc1 is released and Greg starts merging patches there are
some that conflict and have to be redone.  It's not the end of the world
to redo a patch submit.
