Solved Problem
When sending CRSF telemetry, the GPS message provided an incorrect value for altitude [m]. This is because the existing PX4 code assumed the altitude_msl_m in the SensorGPS uORB message was in units of mm, instead of m.
Solution
Removed scaling of the altitude in the uORB message by 1000.
Changelog Entry
Bugfix for CRSF GPS telemetry
Test coverage
Tested with ELRS transmitter in the loop to confirm correct values.
