It seems you are trying to set the upstream branch to the branch 'android' of the Github repository https://github.com/noloader/openssl. Option --set-upstream-to expects a remote branch, not a URL. You could try:
$ git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/android android
In the hint printed by git pull, <remote> referes to the name of the remote, not its URL. You can check configuration of remote names and URLs in a repository using command "git remote -v".
