/**
 * Represents the GNSS location reporting permissions and notification interface.
 *
 * This interface is used to tell the GNSS HAL implementation whether the framework user has
 * granted permission to the GNSS HAL implementation to provide GNSS location information for
 * non-framework (NFW), non-user initiated emergency use cases, and to notify the framework user
 * of these GNSS location information deliveries.
 *
 * For user initiated emergency cases (and for the configured extended emergency session duration),
 * the GNSS HAL implementation must serve the emergency location supporting network initiated
 * location requests immediately irrespective of this permission settings.
 *
 * There is no separate need for the GNSS HAL implementation to monitor the global device location
 * on/off setting. Permission to use GNSS for non-framework use cases is expressly controlled
 * by the method enableNfwLocationAccess(). The framework monitors the location permission settings
 * of the configured proxy applications(s), and device location settings, and calls the method
 * enableNfwLocationAccess() whenever the user control proxy applications have, or do not have,
 * location permission. The proxy applications are used to provide user visibility and control of
 * location access by the non-framework on/off device entities they are representing.
 *
 * For device user visibility, the GNSS HAL implementation must call the method
 * IGnssVisibilityControlCallback.nfwNotifyCb() whenever location request is rejected or
 * location information is provided to non-framework entities (on or off device). This includes
 * the network initiated location requests for user-initiated emergency use cases as well.
 *
 * The HAL implementations that support this interface must not report GNSS location, measurement,
 * status, or other information that can be used to derive user location to any entity when not
 * expressly authorized by this HAL. This includes all endpoints for location information
 * off the device, including carriers, vendors, OEM and others directly or indirectly.
