A very common case is for MFDs where you've got a core driver which is either being newly added or as far as external interfaces go having some defines added to it and then a bunch of basically unrelated driver patches. There is often a build time dependency (not so much with the newly added stuff) so there is an actual dependency but no meaningful overlap with reviews. You get a similar thing with people bringing up new SoCs where they send a minimal set of drivers in the initial series so people can usefully test.
