Try starting with the book, Linux Device Drivers, third edition. It's free online and has a USB chapter. Also the kernel has a lot of good USB driver documentation already in it (run 'make psdocs' to generate it) and there's a usb skeleton driver in the kernel tree to start out with (drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c.)
