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, Jonathan Neuschäfer
