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.
