@kronmall There's a kernel thing that you can enable which seems to help. See this page for details: http://ciaduck.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/mpl3115a2-sensor-with-raspberry-pi.html
Setting that kernel flag stops this code outputting "Device not active", but I don't think the results I do get from it are that accurate, either. Did you get any further with it?
My code:
Output for pressure:
Output for altitude:
A BMP280 sensor connected to the same Pi gives this output:
Edit: Actually, the code on that linked blogspot page above gives more sensible output:
