Each patch should do exactly one thing. So if you find 3 different issues that
need fixing in foo.c, that should result in 3 commits and 3 patches.  Those 3
may or may not be related enough to require a patch series (where all the
patches should be related).  However, there's a special case where the commits
are close enough together to cause conflicts and/or bisection issues if applied
in the wrong order.  Those should be in a series so they get applied in order
and avoid the conflict/bisection issue.

Hope that helps...
