Yes, I agree this has become a bit confusing. I currently have 2 pending patches:

[1] ARM-OMAP3-gpmc-add-BCH-ecc-api-and-modes_v3.patch        (linux-omap)
[2] mtd-nand-omap-add-support-for-hardware-BCH-ecc_v2.patch  (linux-mtd)

They should both be dropped. I will basically merge the two patches and
submit a new single patch on MTD only, with no dependency. I won't need
to patch arch/arm/mach-omap2 anymore.

But in order to do so, I need the changes that Afzal has submitted
(in particular [3]). Those changes (and as a consequence, my new patch)
won't hit 3.5.

So, when Afzal's patches are pushed, I'll submit a new, single MTD patch.
