Only kernelExtraConfig comes from platform. To apply extra kernel 
patches, you need to override. I'm using

   pkgs.linux_latest.override { kernelPatches = ...; }

myself, but to combine it with linuxPackages_custom, it would look 
something like

boot.kernelPackages =
   let
     kernel = (pkgs.linuxPackages_custom { ... }).kernel.override {
       kernelPatches = ...;
     }
     packages = pkgs.linuxPackagesFor kernel packages;
   in
     packages;
