Well, at the risk of stating the obvious, you will need to fix the errors.
Start by diffing your code against that of the distro driver around the
functions that fail, understand why it's failing to compile (the error
messages should give you a pretty good clue) and fix it.
Why are you trying to update this driver? Presumably there's a specific
bug in the current driver that is fixed in the latest driver that
affects your hardware? If that's the case, try taking the latest distro
code as a base and just backporting the relevant patch rather than
trying to build the whole new driver out of tree. This approach will
probably be far more simplistic, and if it works consider submitting the
patch for inclusion in the CentOSPlus kernel.
OTOH, if it's a case that you have an issue you can't nail down and
you're thinking you'd just like to try the latest driver to see if it
fixes it then there are easier ways of clutching at that particular straw.
So some more detailed information would help provide a more detailed answer.
