Not as a rule, although you might notice they don't differ a lot
in some cases.  I'd certainly not depend on hitting those cases!
Example, putting some other HID devices onto the system could very
easily resequence things.

Observe the P: lines in /proc/bus/input/devices ... those will stay
the same unless you re-wire things, since they express the physical
topology not which-showed-up-first.  That value is in hid->phys.
