Summary:                    Selecting MTD utils from git doesn't give you the
HEAD
Description: 
If you turn on BR2_PACKAGE_MTD_UTILS_GIT, you can get the mtd-utils
source code from the Linux MTD project's GIT server, rather than use
source that is 1 or 2 years old.

I would have thought that the whole point of this is so that you can
get the latest-and-greatest mtd-utils source.  But
package/mtd/mtd-utils.git/mtd.mk hard-codes a particular (now
out-of-date)
version of mtd-utils.

This patch ensures that getting mtd-utils source from git gets the head
from Linux MTD.
