lsusb -v (or -vvv)

Actually, the device provides the USB id.

Identification is read from usb.ids file (its location depends on
distribution).

I am not sure how exactly Cypress chips are designed, but many chip
types allow simple change of USB identification (using cheap external
EEPROM). In this case, different USB IDs don't mean different hardware
(and vice versa).
