    mtd: pxa3xx_nand: fix driver when num_cs is 0
    
    As the devicetree binding doesn't require num_cs to exist or be strictly
    positive, and neither does the platform data case, a bug appear when
    num_cs is set to 0 and panics the kernel.
    
    The issue is that in alloc_nand_resource(), chip is dereferenced without
    having a value assigned when num_cs == 0.
    
    Fix this by returning ENODEV is num_cs == 0.
    
    The panic seen is :
    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000002b8
    pgd = c0004000
    [000002b8] *pgd=00000000
