hi Harald,

I thought using gta01 as prefix is misleading, and so I renamed it.
Yes, the naming with neo1973_ prefix is better and makes sense for both
GTA01 and GTA02.

I agree.  Since user-space applications only care about the way to power
on/off GPS device, we shall use the same naming and sysfs entry.  The
consideration is similar to GSM modem, but the later involves in more
conditions such as hardware configurations and pin assignments.
