This module was requested at 
https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2015-August/022859.html

There were no objections. Tuukka said it's a good idea to have the modules 
even if they aren't part of the released packages:

That would explain why this isn't in the qt5.git/.gitmodules.

But I said:

There have been zero other discussions of "genivi" since then
https://www.google.com/search?q=genivi+site%253Ahttps%253A%252F%252Flists.qt-project.org%252Fpipermail%252Fdevelopment%252F

I don't know what kind of API reviews have been done since. But there has been 
no discussion about renaming this module. Therefore, the name it is currently 
using is unauthorised and does not imply a precedent.

-1 on this new module with this name.
