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 *
