Drivers are more or less organized by functionality. Keyboard and mouse
drivers are generally in drivers/input, but also in drivers/hid, if the
device follows the HID protocol. Headphone drivers - I'm not sure, it
depends on what kind of input and output the headphone does.

As far as I'm aware there's not really a subsystem or directory for all
accessories, because they can have vastly different functionality.


I hope this helps,
