Yeah, libqmi already has the necessary bits but it's not plumbed
through to qmicli. Note that qmicli is a straight interface to QMI and
doesn't try to impose abstractions on anything, so you wouldn't get --
location-get-gps-nmea, but you'd instead be working directly with the
QMI PDS (older) and/or LOC (newer) service commands.
