The Lite5200 is based on arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx/lite5200.c

We have only done a text search/replace lite5200 to jkc5200.
Based on your email, we have now also changed fsl,jkc5200n8 to 
jkc,jkc5200n8

Done, changed fsl,jkc5200n8 to jkc,jkc5200n8

Where did "simple-bus" come from?

Did you mean "mpc5200-simple-platform" from:

    define_machine(mpc5200_simple_platform) {
     .name  = "mpc5200-simple-platform",

     ...
    };

Not there unfortunately, and probe is still not called.
