that's only part of the source though... can you point at the full one ?
I'm pretty sure that's all the source... there was some documentation that
told how to edit the drivers/block/Kconfig and Makefile to actually build
it... below are the instructions. With just what was in that directory, I
was able to use their driver.
Cheers...

Copy the file cl_fdrv.tar.gz into the directory <kernel_src>/drivers/block
Then run
cd <kernel_src>/drivers/block
tar xfz cl_fdrv.tar.gz
Then open the file <kernel_source>/drivers/block/Kconfig
and, after line menu "Block devices"
add 3 following lines
config 686CORE_FLASH
tristate "686CORE flash drivers"
source "drivers/block/cl_fdrv/Kconfig"
and save the file.
Then open the file
<kernel_source>/drivers/block/Makefile
and, after line
obj-y := elevator.o ll_rw_blk.o ioctl.o genhd.o scsi_ioctl.o
add 3 following lines
# ifdef CONFIG_686CORE_FLASH
obj-y += cl_fdrv/
# endif
and save the file.
Run make gconfig (or any other configuration option) and the selection of
the flash driver will be available at ?Device Drivers? >> ?Block Devices?.
Run make bzImage from the directory <kernel_source> to finish building the
kernel.
