I have checked on repo "git://git.infradead.org/linux-mtd.git" on branch "spi-nor/next" and in that kernel version is 4.20.-rc5.
In this repo above 2 patches are not present and hence has send the patches by moving to top of this repo.

Can you please let me know the repo of linux-next and branch to use.
