The key is this:

/var/tmp/silabs/rpmbuild/BUILD/cp210x-3.0.0/cp210x.c:79:27: error: asm/semaphore.h: No such file or directory
In file included from /var/tmp/silabs/rpmbuild/BUILD/cp210x-3.0.0/cp210x.c:95:

I'm forced to wonder how *old* this is? include/asm/semaphore.h was
replaced with include/linux/semaphore.h immediately after the release of
2.6.25, two *years* ago. It is really quite implausible that a driver
that old will still work with a vaguely current kernel with no
adjustments. That driver looks like classic abandonware to me.

Of course you could always downgrade to 2.6.25, if you like a mass of
unfixed security holes and a kernel two releases older than the oldest
supported -stable kernel... I bet this is a 2.6.18 driver, actually,
probably targetted at RHEL or something.
