In drivers/usb/core/hub.c, look through the hub_events() routine.  
There are several function calls similar to this one:

			ret = hub_port_status(hub, i,
					&portstatus, &portchange);

Here i is the port number.  This asks the hub to send back status and 
change information for port i.  (See also the code for the 
hub_port_status() and get_port_status() routines.)
