+Subject: [PATCH] gps plugin: fix build with newer gpsd
+
+gpsd version 3.18 changed the prototype of gps_read(). Make the
+gps_read() call depend on GPSD_API_MAJOR_VERSION to fix that.
+
+This fixes build failures like:
+
+gps.c: In function 'cgps_thread':
+gps.c:144:11: error: too few arguments to function 'gps_read'
+       if (gps_read(&gpsd_conn) == -1) {
+		   ^~~~~~~~
+
+(cherry picked from commit 991a6d3fd38c2435d94de3853fda36b3330cf6ab)
