So you're board is driver by arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx/mpc5200_simple.c then?

Replace these two instances of 'fsl,' with this vendor name of this
board. fsl means freescale, and I'm guessing freescale didn't design
this board.

As mentioned, drop the reg property and be more specific in the
compatible value.
Okay, so the problem is that the 5200 board support doesn't understand
that this device is a real device. The solution (and this isn't
perfect, but I'm working to make this better) is to put the node in a
place where the platform code actually processes it. If you do the
following, then it should start working:
virtual-devices {
compatible = "simple-bus";
dsa {
compatible = "<vendor>,jkc5200n8-dsa";
};
};
Note that I've encoded the board name in the compatible value. Until
(when/if) there is a 'generic' binding for DSA devices, you should
just use a string that is board specific.
You can look under /sys/devices to see if your device actually gets
registered or not.
This is *not* ideal. The support code should pick up the device even
as a child of the root node, but I've got to make some changes to the
registration code to make it work correctly.
Cheers,
g.
