Querying USB device's bInterfaceNumber

[Ping]

Yes, you are right. I know that.  The question is how to get it inside the
xorg driver.  Ajax's reply indicates that there is no existing way for me to
get it inside xorg.  Then, where should I go to fetch the data if not
directly from something that I am "in control", the kernel driver?

I need a suggestion/solution.  Thank you for your reply.
