Hi all,
The GPS module for the imx6 sabresd reference board is the Locosys AH-1613 gps module.
I tried to look for the linux drivers for this module but came up short.
I only saw under kernel_mx/mxc/gps_ioctl/... and those are just ioctls.
Anyone know where the linux driver for this device is located at?
Thanks!

Hi ,
GPS doesn't need driver in order to work properly because there's no driver model for GPS they are serial (very common UART) devices.
No Linux Driver Needed - Linux Driver Project
If you have a special GPS device or want you want to use it with a file system interface like /proc
you need to register your serial GPS using Discipline Line and Serial Core.
You could take a look in drivers/misc/ti-st/st-core.c
