Description
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/7b39f0c1b8781df9d75d6d10d8dfee74bb74e0d9/utils/gpsd/Makefile#L164
the tool here needs the control socket from gpsd, but the uci init cannot configure it:
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/openwrt-24.10/utils/gpsd/files/gpsd.init
And gpsctl from the gpsd-clients package should be moved to the gpsd-utils. It is just used to configure the gpsd itself and not to work on data streams.

Research direction
Start with utils/gpsd/Makefile at line 164 and utils/gpsd/files/gpsd.init to understand the existing package and UCI init configuration. Then inspect the gpsd-clients and gpsd-utils package definitions. Done means the control socket can be configured through UCI and gpsctl is included in gpsd-utils rather than gpsd-clients.
