Ah, no, that information is not directly there in sysfs, sorry.

But it is in the modules themselves, look at the output of 'modinfo' at
the "alias:" lines for "usb:" entries.

That is what modprobe uses to find out what module to load when a USB
device is reported by the system.  Same thing goes for any type of
device bus.

hope this helps,
