I'm still working out what the *best* process is, but linux-mtd.git is
used as the official tree for pull requests to Linus, and I try hard to
make sure it doesn't need rebased. l2-mtd.git has historically served a
little more of a staging role, allowing rebases and is typically aimed
for the next merge window.

In this case, I specifically applied the patch to linux-mtd.git since I
planned to (and did, already) send it to Linus for 3.16. I will probably
merge it back into l2-mtd.git soon, to keep the 'next' tree (l2-mtd.git)
up-to-date.

If you're looking to send patches for -next, please use l2-mtd.git (or
even linux-next.git).

NB: linux-mtd.git and l2-mtd.git are both in linux-next. Perhaps
l2-mtd.git should be in MAINTAINERS?

Regards,
Brian
