Is it good kernel practice to intermingle cosmetic changes with
functional ones, in the same code lines?  Also, no.
I prefer using common sense over black-and-white rules.

If patch is a _really_ tiny one (<  20 LOC changed) it sometimes makes
sense to save the time on handling separate patches.
This is open source -- you have to consider the time saved by reviewers too.

But I doubt you have saved time on all your motivated commit searches, so...
