This is "normal". Earlier kernel had pwron as node to control power to
GPS and since the change ogpsd just writes to both (and will always
complain about one not being there).
If you install zhone (which should be possible on SHR) you can open the
GPS tab and look at GPS in more detail. The chip will tell you which SVs
it is currently looking for and if it is receiving data or not well
before they appear in the SHR GUI.
