This adds device tree bindings for the MPU-3050 gyroscope. Since it
is the first set of bindings for a gyroscope, the folder for it
is also created.
Is this not similar to mpu-6050 and other Invsense devices:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iio/imu/inv_mpu6050.txt
I guess it was a precursor.

The MPU-3050 is a pure gyroscope, the MPU-6050 combines
the gyro with an accelerometer. That is why it is classified as
an IMU rather than a gyro.
I did wonder if the 3050 was a subset of the 6050 but the
register maps are clearly totally different. Hence any sort
of unified driver would be a mess on any OS.

Probably fair to keep the binding docs separate (though in
sync where it makes sense!)
