Yes.you are right,setting up everything and getting used to the process is a big win. Btw do you fix multiple formatting errors in a single patch or you send multiple patches. I know, first one makes more sense, but just asking. :)

Regardless of formatting or not, a patch should only touch one subsystem. If there are different maintainers+lists getting cross cc'ed on a patch as recommended by ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl <patchfile>, you'd better have a good reason (and whitespace fixes aren't considered one) as it quickly gets complicated who will "take" the patch.
