It's easier to go from a sysfs device to a usbfs device, but I don't
understand the question really.  You want to know how to do it on newer
kernels but not older ones?  The mapping is still the same, nothing has
changed, you can still just look up the bus and device number from the
usbfs name and then walk sysfs to get the device.  That will work with
all kernel versions, right?
