Yes, I used to apply them separately. Theoretically, if the bumps are
really both needed for the whole thing to work, Arnout is right that
both bumps should be done in the same patch.

I simply don't apply an absolutely strict rule of "everything should be
bisectable" in Buildroot, so I'm a bit more relaxed than Arnout on
this. I'm not saying Arnout isn't right, just that it wasn't something
that I thought was important enough.

No, because the patch series is bisectable: if we apply only PATCH 1/3,
it works. If we apply patches 1/3 and 2/3, it works. And if we apply
1/3, 2/3 and 3/3, it works.

The question is not whether patches are independent, but whether the
patch series is bisectable. I.e what happens if you apply only M
patches on the total of N patches in the series.

Best regards,

Thomas
