I believe this regression has already been fixed and accepted by David 
Woodhouse and is awaiting upstream submission - hopefully for the 3.7-rc 
cycle. This should be its ID, in linux-mtd.git (and linux-next):

commit bc86cf7af2ebda88056538e8edff852ee627f76a
mtd: nand: fix Samsung SLC NAND identification regression

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2012-October/044458.html

Please test this fix to see if it fixes your problem, if possible. BTW, 
I would prefer not to use your solution, as the new Samsung ID decode 
table actually applies to some 2-level (i.e., SLC) Samsung NAND, 
particularly K9FAG08U0M.
