Have you misinterpreted that comment? To me, it seems to be saying
that the gadget should allow connections that are slower than the
maximum supported speed. But that's not what I'm talking about -- I'm
suggesting that the gadget needs to avoid running faster than the
maximum supported speed.

Okay, that line was probably all right, but it seems that something
else needs to be changed. In a composite gadget, if none of the
function drivers support SuperSpeed then we don't want
composite_driver.speed to be set to USB_SPEED_SUPER. It would be
foolish to allow the UDC to connect at a speed which would make the
gadget useless.
