Please don't forget to sign off kernel code changes (git commit -s).
In this case, since you merged my trivial cleanup to this file, please record my consent to relicensing

before your own Signed-off-by: line. (File history: https://github.com/DeGirum/lincdadrv/commits/master/src/cdaioctl.h -- I seem the only non-employee so far)
It would also be useful to reference my #16 in the pull request description (optionally in the commit message of the license change) to generate links within GitHub.
Another consideration is who you expect to compile against this ioctl declaration file: If under LGPL, then there would need to be an LGPL'ed library (or GPL'ed tool) consuming it. If you want to allow for proprietary libraries/tools to consume it (current PySDK), then you may want to consider dual-licensing this file as "GPL-2.0 OR MIT" (or BSD-3-clause) or use "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" (cf. https://spdx.org/licenses/Linux-syscall-note.html -- not sure whether applicable here, since ioctl rather than syscall; compare the kernel tree for examples).

Once you're clear on which license you want, you should probably squash these two commits (git rebase -i HEAD~3).
