Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH v2 3/3] gnss: Add driver for AI2 protocol

Dear Andreas,


Thank you for your patch.

It’d be great, if you could add the name the kernel parameter *ai2raw*, 
and also document at least one of these vendor kernels.

Could you give a high level overview of the driver design?

What device did you test with?

I’d use a non-fixed type.

I’d be great if you added a comment, why this long delay is needed.
