Yes, it is labeled as a GPS subsystem, but there's nothing GPS
specific in there; it does not understand the data, it just passes
around bytes.
Which would not be a problem, except that it takes /dev/gnssX
namespace, so when we need to introduce hardware abstraction for
GPS, we will not have suitable names available.
I believe this should be fixed before we are stuck with bad ABI
forever.
