Gerrit does in fact impose a particular workflow: each commit is the atomic unit of review.
This, BTW, is a beautiful thing. Most of the idiocy of github is trying to have multi-commit pull requests. Then they had to bodge on that "suggested changes" nonsense instead of having proper dependency tracking between pull requests.
When each commit is the unit of review, you get pull request dependencies and recursive pull requests automatically. Instead of suggesting changes you can simply create a commit with your suggestion which has the reviewed commit as its parent. It's so simple yet so much more powerful.
