making the probe function get called:

compiling and loading overlay

dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o my-mpu6050.dtbo my-mpu6050-overlay.dts sudo dtoverlay my-mpu6050.dtbo

NOTE: Dont use standard names like "mpu6050" for dtbo files. they wont load. Try to do native compilation as the build linux source version and target ubuntu kernel versions dont match.
