Note, this will be done differently in Haiku - for the drivers that use
the new driver architecture, it knows exactly which driver servers
which device and hardware (and vice versa).
In R5 there is also this ioctl(): B_GET_DRIVER_FOR_DEVICE
Haven't tested it yet, but it's supposed to return the path to the
driver for a specific device.
