Write a 1 to force the device to disconnect
(equivalent to unplugging a wired USB device).

What: /sys/bus/usb/drivers/.../new_id
Date: October 2011
Contact: linux-usb@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Writing a device ID to this file will attempt to
dynamically add a new device ID to a USB device driver.
This may allow the driver to support more hardware than
was included in the driver's static device ID support
table at compile time. The format for the device ID is:
idVendor idProduct bInterfaceClass.
The vendor ID and device ID fields are required, the
interface class is optional.
Upon successfully adding an ID, the driver will probe
for the device and attempt to bind to it. For example:
# echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/new_id

Description:
For serial USB drivers, this attribute appears under the
extra bus folder "usb-serial" in sysfs; apart from that
difference, all descriptions from the entry
"/sys/bus/usb/drivers/.../new_id" apply.

If you need to enter your read-side critical section in a
hardirq or exception handler, and then exit that same read-side
critical section in the task that was interrupted, then you need
to srcu_read_lock_raw() and srcu_read_unlock_raw(), which avoid

Also unlike other forms of RCU, explicit initialization
