I just wanted to check if there has been any progress on the issue below (4-bit ECC support to read for the kernel / U-boot) during the summer.

I am restarting work on this issue for u-boot, Does anybody have any suggestions? Those are welcomed..

Good to hear!

I guess a starting point could be Nicolas patch for this to OpenOCD:

http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/openocd-development/2009-May/006413.html

and/or the Reed-Solomon library in the Linux kernel, lib/reed_solomon/{reed_solomon.c, decode_rs.c, encode_rs.c} (I guess this will be needed to perform error correction and decoding as well).
