... but we can tag such descriptors __initdata. No?

Again __initdata ?

Actually there is a comment in the implementation of gadget_is_dualspeed() that sais that "run time test should check g->is_dualspeed" although right now the return value from that function is according to #ifdef CONFIG_USB_GADGET_DUALSPEED. So what needs to be modified is the gadget_is_dualspeed() function and not the gadget drivers.

IMHO having to send device-qualifier and other-speed descriptors
does sound pointless if the underlying UDC doesn't provide relevant support.
