Invensense MPU6050 and device trees

I have an InvenSense MPU-6050 on i2c bus /dev/i2c-3.

The kernel driver does not find it, e.g.

Code:# cat /var/log/messages | grep 6050
Jan 1 00:00:09 pryfyn kern.info kernel: [ 9.757536] inv-mpu6050-i2c 1-0068: mounting matrix not found: using identity...

#I can only think that it is because it it looking on /dev/i2c-1 instead of /dev/i2c-3.

I am at a loss to understand how to specify that it must look on bus 3. The .dts looks like this, which seems to suggest the only things that can be tweaked are the device address and the interrupt pin.
Code:// Definitions for MPU6050
/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

/ {
compatible = "brcm,bcm2835";

fragment@0 {
target = <&i2c1>;
__overlay__ {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
status = "okay";
clock-frequency = <400000>;

mpu6050: mpu6050@68 {
compatible = "invensense,mpu6050";
reg = <0x68>;
interrupt-parent = <&gpio>;
interrupts = <4 1>;
};
};
};

__overrides__ {
interrupt = <&mpu6050>,"interrupts:0";
addr = <&mpu6050>,"reg:0";
};
};I tried changing i2c1 to i2c3, and whilst it compiled OK, the kernel did not generate any messages or files in /sys.

I guess I should say that i2c3 is a bit banging i2c but and not a real hardware device, and it setup with
Code:// i2c bus for IMU
dtoverlay=i2c-gpio,bus=3,i2c_gpio_sda=27,i2c_gpio_scl=17Does anyone know how to do this ? It must be possible, but the bit of code, or parameter to tweak is eluding me.

Thanks for your help.
