There is chance to read the /sys/bus/i2c/... device (maybe see the
address there?) directly.
However I would expect an i2c error each time you try to read a raw
value in driver if there would
be some. I hope someone more experienced can chime in...

I somehow doubt that accel is an usb device (which is what lsusb would
show), but if it
does then it should not show in iio.
There is however iioutils package which is around same as lsusb and
might be worth checking
out for you.
