driver_*.c wrappers are very much OS specific and you cannot build a
Linux driver interface for FreeBSD. You will need to use
CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config and remove all other drivers from FreeBSD
build. Please also keep in mind that wpa_supplicant is included in the
current FreeBSD versions and the version included there may have more
up-to-date version of the BSD driver wrapper.

It's not exactly a control flow diagram, but the developers'
documentation at http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/devel/ has some description
of the source code that may help here.
