git bisect should work as normal as that are mostly white space changes.

Further it is possible to skip commits with
git bisect skip $VERSION
also a tag could be used there if one exists.

So suppose the change was done in multiple commits after the tag 
"codeStyleChangeBefore" and ending with "codeStyleChangeAfter" -- no other 
commits inbetween,
then you'd do
git bisect skip codeStyleChangeBefore..codeStyleChangeAfter to skip all 
commits that change the code style.
