sounds like a layer violation to me :-s You're basically relying on the
fact the the UDC (dummy, dwc3, chipidea, musb, etc) have access to a
pointer to the usb_gadget_driver currently running. If that changes -
and it's not too farfectched of a change, since UDC doesn't need to know
which gadget driver is running - dummy may break. I would rather patch
dummy a bit to implement ->udc_set_speed().

What do you think?
