I have the following output lines in dmesg which show the product being
detected by USB:
usb 2-9: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5
usb 2-9: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 2-9: New USB device found, idVendor=15c2, idProduct=ffdc
usb 2-9: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0

The idvendor and idproduct codes match the lsusb line:
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller

The only other relevant output in dmesg relates to driver loading for the
iMon:
udevd version 127 started
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
lirc_imon: Driver for Soundgraph iMON MultiMedia IR/VFD, v0.4
lirc_imon: Venky Raju <dev at venky.ws>
lirc_imon: imon_probe: found IMON device
lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0
lirc_imon: imon_probe: Registered iMON plugin(minor:0)
lirc_imon: imon_probe: iMON device on usb<2:5> initialized
usbcore: registered new interface driver lirc_imon

These are the only lines that refer to "imon" as a string (ignoring case).
As you can see, no mention of attaching to a specific device. The usb<2:5>
address also matches the details in the lsusb output.

The only references to the word "attached" in dmesg as you posted are the
following:
CPU0 attaching sched-domain:
CPU1 attaching sched-domain:
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk
sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 5
sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk
sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0

which don't look related at all.
