With a recent git you can say:

gitk --simplify-by-decoration drivers/usb/gadget

it will show the commits modifying the file and with a ref (tag or branch).

With the command line you can use:

git tag --contains <commit> # only in git v1.6.2-rc0

it lists all the tags that contain the given commit,

or

git describe --contains <commit>

that tells which is the nearer tag that contains the given commit.
