The PCI ID reported is wrong actually there is no pci id
I checked when the disk was not attached
sudo lsusb > without_disk
and when disk was attached
sudo lsusb >with_disk
and
diff without_disk with_disk
there was no difference

yes I did exactly the same
when the disk was not inserted to USB slot
cp /var/log/dmesg /home/abhi/dmesg_without_dell_usb
and after I inserted the USB disk (1 TB)
cp /var/log/dmesg /home/abhi/dmesg_with_dell_usb

and diff  /home/abhi/dmesg_with_dell_usb /home/abhi/dmesg_without_dell_usb
I got no output on screen so it means the kernel did not actually noticed
the disk at all.
