That's intentional. nand_ids holds all _supported_ chips. And its not a
big problem to add a chip ID. If you add a new chip, you have to check,
if the nand driver can handle it.

I do not like this idea at all. Thats just another error source. I'm not
interested in "I added the chip-id XYZ, because the chip was not
detected, but it does not work" discussions on the mailing list. We have
already enough dumb questions to answer.
