Steps 3 and 4 should be to submit against whatever branch is appropriate for the subsystem and driver - if people follow this process they're going to get bounced back by a fair proportion of maintainers, -rc isn't universally what people are looking for so people should be aware that they need to pay attention here. Generally I'd say the development version is a safer bet than -rc for most subsystems.
