It does.

As I mentioned, updating all of the gadget drivers will take a long time and
I don't fill confident enough doing since I'm not familiar with all of them
and don't have the ability to test each of them properly. I can add SS
descriptors to f_mass_storage, g_zero if it helps and of course f_uasp
already has them.
I'm a bit confused by this actually... We've been discussing this patch
series for quite a while now and I got the impression that except for some
minor comments you were all for excepting this. Was I wrong or am I
misunderstanding the above?
In any case, I don't feel that adding SS support for the Gadget framework
should be delayed until all gadget drivers add SS descriptors because this
patch series will give the developers the ability to test these gadget
drivers at SS. Also, several developers addressed me offline with questions
on this series so I know people are using it in their work. And of course we
do :)
