[PATCH] 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
