Yes but resetting it later in the SuperSpeed descriptor will be a bit
complicated. A better approach will be setting the desired values in the
HighSpeed descriptors. This way they will be copied to the SuperSpeed
descriptors automatically.

I've consulted out HW team and we came up with the flowing solution:
These values are determined by the controller and the PHY. The gadget SW
has no impact on them what so ever. Therefore, we will add another
callback to gadget_ops that will retrieve these values from the DCD. If
this callback is not supplied we will report the flowing default values:
ss_cap->bU1devExitLat = 0x01 (less then 1 microsec)
ss_cap->bU2DevExitLat = 0x1F4 (less then 500 microsec)

Link power management is mostly implemented by the DCD and not the gadget.
Once it will be implemented necessary changes will be applied to the
gadget framework as well.
