/proc/bus/usb filesystem output

The /proc filesystem for USB devices provides /proc/bus/usb/drivers
and /proc/bus/usb/devices, as well as /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD files.
The usbfs filesystem for USB devices is traditionally mounted at
/proc/bus/usb. It provides the /proc/bus/usb/devices file, as well as
the /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD files.
**NOTE**: If /proc/bus/usb appears empty, and a host controller

THE /proc/bus/usb/drivers FILE:
-------------------------------
Each of the USB device drivers linked into your kernel (statically,
or dynamically using "modprobe") is listed in the "drivers" file.
Here's an example from one system:
usbdevfs
hub
0- 15: usblp
usbnet
serial
usb-storage

If you see this file, "usbdevfs" and "hub" will always be listed,
since those are part of the "usbcore" framework.
Drivers that use the USB major number (180) to provide character devices
will include a range of minor numbers, as shown above for the "usblp"
(actually "printer.o") module. USB device drivers can of course use any
major number, but it's easy to use the USB range since there's explicit
support for subdividing it in the USB device driver framework.

If you say Y here (and to "/proc file system support" in the "File
systems" section, above), you will get a file /proc/bus/usb/devices
which lists the devices currently connected to your USB bus or
busses, a file /proc/bus/usb/drivers which lists the USB kernel
client drivers currently loaded, and for every connected device a
file named "/proc/bus/usb/xxx/yyy", where xxx is the bus number and
yyy the device number; the latter files can be used by user space
programs to talk directly to the device. These files are "virtual",
meaning they are generated on the fly and not stored on the hard
