AFAIK right now from nowhere. I am not entitled to publicly
redistribute non-public drivers that I got inofficially.

Once again: hardware manager shows resources which are registered with
it by a device driver. So the device driver has to detect a particular
piece of hardware and then tell it to hardware manager. If the USB base
drivers work correctly with a given hardware, they will add the
detected USB chip hardware resources and all detected USB hub/device
nodes to the hardware manager device tree.
