I have a device connected to my Debian linux box, lsusb says:

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0525:a4a7 Netchip Technology, Inc. Linux-USB Serial Gadget (CDC ACM mode)

In

/sys/bus/usb/devices/

I have

How to find out which device is this?

I found / modify a script to get the /sys device based on lsusb output. 

#!/bin/bash
#
# usb2sys - find lsusb device in /sys file system
#

die()
{
    echo "$@"
    exit 1
}

[[ $# -lt 1 ]] && die "need vendor and product ids (from lsusb) as dddd:dddd"

vendor=${1%:*}
product=${1##*:}

sys=/sys/bus/usb/devices/
cd $sys

for d in *; do
    path=$sys$d
    if [ -f $path/idProduct ]; then
      prod=$( cat $path/idProduct )
      vend=$( cat $path/idVendor )

      if [ $prod = $product -a $vend = $vendor ]; then
        echo prod = $prod
        echo vend = $vend
        echo /sys device is $path
      fi
    fi
done

the idea is to get the string 1d6b:0002 and check agains which is the idProduct:idVendor couple and compare it to the existing usb in /sys

You can use the script like this

lsusb | cut -d ' ' -f 6 | xargs -L 1 ./usb2sys

The output would be something like 

prod = 0002
vend = 1d6b
/sys device is /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1

Use cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/2*/manufacturer and progressively add numbers to the 2* part.. like 2-3:*, 2-3:2.* until you can match the name, or use idProduct or idVendor instead of manufacturer.
