commit c51d0ac59f24 ("mtd: nand: Move Samsung specific init/detection
logic in nand_samsung.c") introduced a regression for Samsung SLC NAND
chips by skipping the initialization of chip->bits_per_cell that is
done in nand_decode_ext_id() from which the manufacturer dependent
code was extracted.
The regression should also affect Hynix and Macronix chips whose code
was separated out in further commits but which I cannot test.
AMD/Spansion and Toshiba NAND are not affected, since they are calling 
nand_decode_ext_id() (which initializes bhip->bits_per_cell) in their
.detect function.

Fix the regression and add a warning to nand_is_slc() to prevent
further regressions of this kind.
