If they can and should be applied independently, most definitely.
This has two strong advantages I can think of:
  - In case problem requiring a revert (I am not speaking of your
    patch!), it allows us to revert the one patch that causes problem,
    while keepping the rest;
  - It makes it much easier to review the patches, first because
    they are easier to digest, and second because we can review
    them one at a time, making it more likely for us to find the time
    to do so.
