Have a look at the file /etc/path_to_inst. There you will find all device instances managed by a particular driver. The first entry of each line is the physical device. If you then look in /dev/rdsk and check which symbolic link of the form c<N>t<N>d<N>s<N> points to this physical device, you have your match. One caveat is that if you move disks around, /etc/path_to_inst will grow, and there is no guarantee that any device listed in this file is really present in the running system.
