OK, so it seems I was misunderstanding your comment all along, but
that was nothing a good night sleep couldn't fix. :P

So, what you are saying is that when passed to the UDC driver (ie.
by calling usb_gadget_probe_driver()) the usb_gadget_driver structure
must have speed no higher then what the UDC supports, right?  And in
that case, it's not composite specific but affects all the gadgets.

In that case, I think that usb_gadget_probe_driver() itself needs to be
changed since prior to this function we don't know which gadget the
gadget driver will be bound to.  Ie. something as follows could be added
somewhere there:

   driver->speed = min(driver->speed, udc->gadget->speed)

Does that sound like it makes sense?

At this point though, gadget drivers need to be aware that
usb_gadget_probe_driver() may change the speed field.  It should not
be a problem since, as far as I can tell, all gadgets expect for g_ffs
call usb_gadget_probe_driver() only once and in case of g_ffs this can
be solved at composite level.
