+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
