Of course NO. It is awful, I have say.

I spent a lot of time to struggle with git yesterday. When I revised the
coding style problem and tried to format-patch to master branch, then I
got 2 patches but not all in one. How could I rebase my working copy and
get an all-in-one patch of this?

I tried to revert my commit and redo this patch, then I lost to calling
it in do_IRQ();
