Just report back the list:  I've managed to mount root from NFS, by
which I can use pure Linux way to prepare my root filesystems to yaffs2
and enable HW ECC in MTD layer only. Then I can ignore the mismatch
between u-boot and kernel in the ways they handing NAND OOB area.

But your boot-loader still needs to read the NAND flash for loading the kernel image. Won't it be a problem if uboot doesn't understand ECC? What if some blocks have gone bad, uboot might load a corrupted kernel image.

CMIIW.
