Make that at least 2004.  This commit in oe-classic touches it:

commit c70605ebdca81412a93b4d867de7931543193f26
Author: Chris Larson <clarson at kergoth.com>

    Update mtd to a current snapshot, change the mkfs.jffs2 -i cmdline option to
    -I, and rename mtd and mtd-native to mtd-utils and mtd-utils-native,
    respectively.

Prior history is lost to the git/bk migration unless anyone has a
BitKeeper clone to mine...
