What kernel version you look at? Please see the latest kernel,
it has MCU GPIO LED nodes already, and you can just add some
additional nodes.

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc8377_rdb.dts#l490

You have put the printk into the wrong function. It should
have been of_gpio_leds_probe():

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/leds/leds-gpio.c#l227

If you don't have that function then you use too old kernel.

Thanks,
