Development works against -next, not Linus' master:

This is also noted here:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/linux-next.html

Technically, you should work off of the respective subsystem tree (see
entries in MAINTAINERS). For MTD, this is also documented here:

http://linux-mtd.infradead.org/source.html

In the end, most MTD patches get applied to l2-mtd.git, but l2-mtd.git
and linux-next.git should provide pretty similar MTD patching
experiences, as the former is included in the latter.
