what addresses they live at. However, in certain cases, it does not, so a
sysfs interface was added to let the user provide the information. This

+File ``delete_device`` takes a single parameter: the address of the I2C
device. As no two devices can live at the same address on a given I2C
segment, the address is sufficient to uniquely identify the device to be
deleted.
