Add before the SiRF entry too keep the entries sorted.

Ditto.

So this should go in the previous patch.

As this just a copy of the ubx driver with the "ubx" prefix replaced
with "mtk", you need to retain the original copyright statement.

I'm not even sure the search and replace work is copyrightable at all...

I see now why you wanted merge this with the ubx driver, but I still
think they should be kept apart for now. Maybe we can move common bits
into the generic implementation (library) when we get a third "copy".

The rest of the driver obviously looks fine. ;) Possibly with the
exception of the added mediatek compatible as mentioned before.
