I can find no evidence of that.

Here is the AOSP Qualcomm GPS driver source:

git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/hardware/qcom/gps
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/hardware/qcom/sdm845/gps

It is all written in C++ and uses the AOSP Location API which does not look at
all like the gpsd API.

From the above location you can browse around and find the code for
other GPS.
