Summary:                    BR2_PACKAGE_MTD_ORIG_STRING is not set and make
failes
Description: 
When not using the snapshot mtd the make failes because the
BR2_PACKAGE_MTD_ORIG_STRING variable is not set. Make calls on tar to
untar the dl/ directory, which of cource failes.
If i wasn't in such a hurry i would have submitted a patch, sorry.
Maybe later.

I believe the problem arrises because in the mtd.mk file the
$(DL_DIR)/$(MTD_SOURCE): target resolves to
$(DL_DIR)/"mtd_20050122.orig.tar.gz" rather than
$(DL_DIR)/mtd_20050122.orig.tar.gz .  The attached mtd.mk changes the
value of MTD_SOURCE to MTD_SOURCE:=$(subst ",,$(strip
$(BR2_PACKAGE_MTD_ORIG_STRING))) which fixed mtd builds for me when not
using the latest snapshot.

Yes, the missing stripping of quotes is exactly the problem. The attached
patch (mtd-strip-qoutes.patch) fixes it.
