Maybe a slightly more detailed comment saying that the RESCAL block is tied to PCIe controller #1, regardless of the number of controllers, and turning off PCIe controller #1 prevents access to the RESCAL register blocks, therefore not other controller can access this register space, and depending upon the bus fabric we may get a timeout (UBUS/GISB), or a hang (AXI).

Thanks!
