dummy_hcd should work when CONFIG_USB_GADGET_SUPERSPEED is enabled,
even if the usb_gadget_driver structure is initialized with the speed
field set to USB_SPEED_HIGH.  This will be true for all the standalone
gadget drivers until they are updated.

Which leaves a question about the composite gadget framework.  Should
it be updated with SS support?  Probably not until the various function
drivers have all been updated.
