Looks ok mostly. Just some details:

I wouldn't hide this inside of an #ifdef. The structures are all static
and therefore a single field per driver doesn't add much bload, but
being able to always assign the .compat_ioctl pointer makes the code
somewhat nicer

declarations should never be hidden inside of an #ifdef. If you want to be
extra clever here, you can do

#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
long tty_compat_ioctl(struct file * file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg);
#else
#define tty_compat_ioctl NULL
#endif

then you don't need an #ifdef in the code setting the function pointers.

no need for the cast, ->private_data is void*.
