I hope you are talking about V8/V9 of the spec here, as I only see one
version of the Linux driver on the list. Please keep me in cc if
possible.

Looked at all headers for SPDX License in include/uapi/ and this is
what I see (Yes there are many non SPDX licenses there):

    522 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note */
    106 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note */
     18 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) */
     16 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note */
     16 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only WITH Linux-syscall-note */
     11 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note */
      6 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: ((GPL-2.0-only WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) */
      5 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause */
      4 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note */
      4 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note */
      4 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) */
      3 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT */
      2 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT */
      2 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR Linux-OpenIB) */
      2 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR CDDL-1.0) */
      2 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) */
      2 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later WITH Linux-syscall-note */
      1 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) */
      1 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause */
      1 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) */
      1 /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only WITH Linux-syscall-note*/

Also Documentation/process/license-rules.rst says:

"The license described in the COPYING file applies to the kernel source
as a whole, though individual source files can have a different license
which is required to be compatible with the GPL-2.0::

...

Aside from that, individual files can be provided under a dual license,
e.g. one of the compatible GPL variants and alternatively under a
permissive license like BSD, MIT etc."

And so I thought we may want this to be a dual license.

V8 of this patch ?
