Hi,
I want to develop driver for CP2102 for
QNX but I can't find any documentation how
to work with this device.

Is it possible to get documentation?

The CP210x protocol over USB is not open.

The source code for the Linux driver may help you.

It isn't acceptable for us to spend a lot of
time looking into Linux kernel sources and
trying to understand how this device working.

If documentation is not available for
developers then we'll have to refuse to use it.

Then, make the device by yourself, according to the USB CDC ACM spec.
Either FTDI or Prolific, no manufacturer of USB-serial chip opens the USB protocol of the chip.

Contact to them directly
It depends on their policy and your negotiation.

Consider using the F320 with Tsuneo’s CDC code. The CDC spec is public, with some luck there is already a QNX implementation. Tsuneo’s CDC is also public, so you have even the possibility to optimize it for your own application.
The only draw back I see is that you have to download the firmware initially in the F320, which is a bit more laboriously than only modify the CP210x VID/PID/Serial/Description.
