For example, it looks like any controller can be used as a companion one. Also, when using ich9-uhci2, for example, we are able to set some sensible defaults, but it might get confusing for the user as we don't do that for all controller models. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1069590 Signed-off-by: Martin Kletzander --- diff --git a/docs/formatdomain.html.in b/docs/formatdomain.html.in index 8cd8d09d20..d0c1741050 100644 --- a/docs/formatdomain.html.in +++ b/docs/formatdomain.html.in @@ -3005,6 +3005,11 @@ relationship of the companion to its master controller.
