If they are related / dependent on each other, then I think those
kinds of patchsets should be encapsulated in one branch.

The need to be applied and committed in sequence.  Sometimes the final 
patch is the one that fixes the coding style.  This is inherently very 
manual.
They need to be merged separately too since the author is often 
different on each patch.
