According to your question, it is not very clear to me, so could you
give more detail then I can help.
What type (ubi, jffs2, or others) of your filesystem is used? How do you
flush the file system into the nand flash, by SAM-BA, or U-Boot? With or
without pmecc?
And what ecc type (pmecc, soft, none) do you enabled in the kernel?

But, I'm having trouble following the thread to find the current status.

In 3.7-rc5, I think the atmel nand driver should work well with
AT91SAM9G25EK board even without the patch you mentioned in above URL.
Just for PMECC, you need add following code in
arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9x5cm.dtsi:
- nand-ecc-mode = "soft";
+ nand-ecc-mode = "hw";
+ atmel,has-pmecc; /* Enable PMECC */
+ atmel,pmecc-cap = <2>; /* PMECC error bits*/
+ atmel,pmecc-sector-size = <512>; /* sector
size for PMECC, it is not page size */
Also you can check the readme file in:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/atmel-nand.txt
