Yes.

These are all changes which made me pause during my review to figure out
why they were necessary.  The line between what is a related part of a
patch is a bit vague and some maintainers will ask you to add or subtract
from a patch depending on their individual tastes.  I don't really have
an exact answer, but I felt like this patch needs to be subtracted from.

Especially if there is a whole chunk of the patch which can be removed,
then to me, that obviously should be in a different patch.
