Any chance you respin this one?

It appears somehow this made its way to the patch:
"Untracked files not listed" sorry about that -- could you remove it?

While there, you can fix the typo in the commit title:
"mtdblock: Warn if the added for a NAND device" -> "mtdblock: Warn if
added for a NAND device"

Thanks a lot,
Ezequiel
