Add support for MPL3115A2? #7632

Description

Describe the bug

Sorry if this no longer the place to request sensor support as I have done in the past? Attempted to add MPL3115(A2) support.

	/dts-v1/;
	/plugin/;

	/ {
	    compatible = "brcm,bcm2835";

	    fragment@0 {
	        target = <&i2c1>;
	        __overlay__ {
	            #address-cells = <1>;
	            #size-cells = <0>;
	            status = "okay";

	            mpl3115: mpl3115@60 {
	                compatible = "fsl,mpl3115";
	                reg = <0x60>;
	                status = "okay";
	            };
	        };
	    };
	};

Did the following...

apt update && sudo apt install -y device-tree-compiler

dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o mpl3115.dtbo mpl3115.dts

cp mpl3115.dtbo /boot/firmware/overlays/

nano /boot/firmware/config.txt

dtoverlay=mpl3115

reboot

But did not seem to work or even load... dmesg showed no information?

dmesg | grep mpl3115


### Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Should see the typical 'UU' at the device addresss not '60'
