Upstream linux commit 69fc01296c9281 commit a1286a1fc416 ("mtd: nand: Move Samsung specific init/detection logic in nand_samsung.c") introduced a regression for Samsung SLC NAND chips. Prior to this commit chip->bits_per_cell was initialized by calling nand_get_bits_per_cell() before using nand_is_slc(). With the offending commit this call is skipped, leaving chip->bits_per_cell cleared to zero when the manufacturer specific '.detect' function calls nand_is_slc() which in turn interprets bits_per_cell != 1 as indication for an MLC chip. The effect is that e.g. a K9F1G08U0F NAND chip is falsely detected as MLC NAND with 4KiB page size rather than SLC with 2KiB page size.
Add a call to nand_get_bits_per_cell() before calling the .detect hook function in nand_manufacturer_detect(), so that the nand_is_slc() calls in the manufacturer specific code will return correct results.
