Please avoid putting the "MTD" inside the [] characters.  Anything
which is inside [] is supposed to be discarded by the patch-receiving
party.  This is for things like [rfc], [patch 3/12], [2.6.27-rc5], etc.

But we do want the "mtd" text to go all the way through into the
mainline git metadata.

Nope.  Please see Documentation/kobject.txt - search for the text
"mocked mercilessly".
