Maybe you could use a matching against

	match "bus" "0x????";
	match "vendor" "0x????";
	match "product" "0x????";
	match "release" "0x????";

to determine which device you're currently accessing.
As the USB IDs stay the same for at least the card
reader, it should be easy to conclude. :-)

USB devices are usually "enumerated" in the order they
appear to the system.
