More welcome! I see that the nand/fixes and spi-nor/fixes branch are already there [1]. You can add: mtd-fixes git git://git.infradead.org/linux-mtd.git#master You can also remove the mtd entry [2], since mtd-2.6.git is just a sym link to linux-mtd.git, so it will just be a duplicate of the mtd-fixes entry. You can also rename the l2-mtd entry [3] into mtd.
