No.  That would be more than one thing per patch.  It looks like this:

[patch 1/3] staging: dgnc: dgnc_neo: put else statements on the right line
[patch 2/3] staging: dgnc: dgnc_neo: clean up ugly one very ugly condition
[patch 3/3] staging: dgnc: dgnc_neo: remove extra curly braces

Each patch does one thing.  Cleaning up the whole file is too big so it
doesn't count as doing one thing only.

Yes.
