#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_GNSS)
The current ice driver's GNSS write implementation buffers writes and works through them asynchronously in a kthread. That's bad because: - The GNSS write_raw operation is supposed to be synchronous[1][2]. - There is no upper bound on the number of pending writes. Userspace can submit writes much faster than the driver can process, consuming unlimited amounts of kernel memory. A patch that's currently on review[3] ("[v3,net] ice: Write all GNSS buffers instead of first one") would add one more problem: - The possibility of waiting for a very long time to flush the write work when doing rmmod, softlockups. To fix these issues, simplify the implementation: Drop the buffering, the write_work, and make the writes synchronous. I tested this with gpsd and ubxtool.
