This has nothing to do with parity check on the serial port.

The DCF77 signal transmits 3 parity bits in its data stream.
This messages is generated when the check fails. This happens
usually when the reception is sub-optimal and bit errors occur.
Occasional errors are harmless.

If this message is interfering with the opration of your embedded
system you should only disable the output of the message - not the
check.
