Well, this is too new to be aware of...
Isn't the MODULE_LICENSE enough any more?

Well, gpsd and other daemons might assume they can tcsetattr or a line discipline etc.

Well, primarily it is a gps driver... And in some bright future there
should be specific gps interfaces (like networking or bluetooth).

But there is no drivers/gps and I am not sure if this one should be the
first. If you prefer it, it is a simple rename...
