There is the boot configuration block which uses a Parity 13/8
algorithm, is it that you are referring to? The format parity is in the
main area, hence it doesn't clash with the HW ECC of the controller. One
can use normal NAND write functions to write this page. See the
implementation in our downstream U-Boot:
