Some of these chips have GNSS support. In some vendor kernels a driver on top of misc/ti-st can be found providing a /dev/tigps device which speaks the secretive Air Independent Interface (AI2) protocol. To be more compatible with userspace send out NMEA by default but allow a more raw mode by using a module parameter. This was tested on the Epson Moverio BT-200. Who will take this series (1-3)? GNSS with ack from Bluetooth? Changes since V3: - Finally remove the period from 1/4 subject - include things directly for get_unaligned_le16() to fix 0-day issues Changes since V2: - Optimize waits - Fix some packet analysis / checksum computation issue - Adding a proposal for removing those waits as RFC - Minor spell corrections and improved descriptions Changes since V1: - Set up things for NMEA output - Powerup/down at open()/close() - split out logic between drivers/bluetooth and drivers/gnss - leave out drivers/misc/ti-st driver removal to avoid filling up mailboxes during the iterations, this series is still a proof that it is not needed, will take the brush after this series is accepted.
