Hi Jason and Jason
I think it does.
The output from /debug/clk will tell.
I think it may also cause problems with udev persistent rules. The IDs
will change for devices which are on the second controller and the
first controller was previously not registered. I've not idea if this
is just a theoretical problem, or a real problem.
