I have attached a dissector for the PPI-GPS tag. I am currently writing the
specification that corresponds the the other PPI-GEOLOCATION tags (Compass,
antenna, etc), and hope to release it along with an SDK that includes a packet
tagging utility, sample pcaps, and wireshark dissectors concurrently. The
attached patch only includes a GPS dissector, as the other fields are currently
undergoing development. The packet-ppi-gps dissector will be used as a basis
for the other three dissectors, so I thought I would submit it individually,
and fix any issues it has, before using it a a base for other development.

The format for these tags is very similar to radiotap (without forced
alignment).

Please let me know what I can do to get this integrated. I tried to follow all
of the steps in README.developer, including fuzzing.

 ./tools/fuzz-test.sh ../../packet_tagger/test-out.pcap 
Running ./tshark with args: -nVxr (forever)

Starting pass 914:
    ../../packet_tagger/test-out.pcap:  OK
Starting pass 915:
    ../../packet_tagger/test-out.pcap: ^C
