You're right, the full and best solution would be to set driver speed as the
minimum of all the speeds its functions support. (Please note that it's the
usb_composite_driver speed we're talking about and not the speed of the
gadget).
Unfortunately, we need to determine the driver speed before any of the
functions binded to it so the above solution isn't possible.
In any case, gadget->speed is determined upon real connection to the host
that can occur long after the f-> bind() and it depends on whether for
example SS HW negotiation protocol succeeded or failed.

Thanks,
Tanya Brokhman
