According to the datasheet the chips come out of RESET with
on-die-ECC disabled.  The setup that I have seen does enable the
in-chip feature within an early loader.  Subsequently running
bootloaders and OSes (here: U-Boot and Linux) find the chip with
on-die-ECC enabled.

I understand that READ_ID will tell you whether on-die-ECC is
supported by the chip.  The GETFEATURE request tells you whether
it's enabled.  And SETFEATURE allows you to control whether it's
enabled or disabled.
