SDCC uses GPL2+LE (i.e, GPL 2 or later with liking exception) for its library.
Whatever is chosen should be compatible with that, at least for the part that is supposed to go into SDCC later.

This repo is the programmer specific include files (i.e. calibration routines) and is not currently intended to be included with SDCC. But, your comment would apply to the pdk-includes repo: free-pdk/pdk-includes#5

I'm not sure if the old LGPL is the right choice for headers which are included in a linked program.
I think GPL + LinkException is a better choice for this.

Do you have a link that shows that as being a real thing?
I couldn't find it on http://www.gnu.org/licenses, and it isn't directly listed on their exceptions page either: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/exceptions.html
GitHub doesn't know about it: https://docs.github.com/en/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/licensing-a-repository
SPDX doesn't directly list it (unless it is one of the deprecated ones): https://spdx.org/licenses/
Wikipedia isn't really all that clear, although they do list LGPL as being related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL_linking_exception
Or, do we just list this as GPL 2.0 and include our own exception text (similar to what SDCC uses)? That feels a bit dirty to not use an 'official' license, but maybe it is ok?

In SDCC I only found this:
https://sourceforge.net/p/sdcc/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/sdcc/doc/README.txt
https://sourceforge.net/p/sdcc/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/sdcc/COPYING
=> we need to ask @spth
Linking Excpetion:
You might put the repo under GPL LICENSE and then add a "LICENSE-ADDITIONAL" containing the linking exception.

But you use an official license. You just add an additional exception.
