+Description:
+                Writing a device ID to this file will remove an ID
+                that was dynamically added via the new_id sysfs entry.
+                The format for the device ID is:
+                VVVV DDDD SVVV SDDD CCCC MMMM.  That is Vendor ID, Device
+                ID, Subsystem Vendor ID, Subsystem Device ID, Class,
+                and Class Mask.  The Vendor ID and Device ID fields are
+                required, the rest are optional.  After successfully
+                removing an ID, the driver will no longer support the
+                device.  This is useful to ensure auto probing won't
+                match the driver to the device.  For example:
+                # echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/remove_id
