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.
