Use 'with' for the person.

The idiom is 'make friends with', and it does not use 'friendship'.

✗ Friendship with him is made by me since childhood.
✓ I have been friends with him since childhood.
Use the active 'be friends with' for a relationship that began in the past and continues. The passive here is unnatural.
