I'm not certain I completely understand your question, but to identify
the driver used by linux for a specific usb device I would attempt to...
(replace PRODUCT_ID with the actual product id)
1) See if the product id appears in the kernel ring buffer.
dmesg | grep PRODUCT_ID
2) Locate and search the file modules.usbmap
grep PRODUCT_ID
3) Download the source from kernel.org, untar, and search it for the
product id
grep -R PRODUCT_ID *
