OK.

I'll take a look at how much work that would require.

Yang has brought up an issue that musb_gadget_start() checks if  
driver->speed
equals USB_SPEED_HIGH.  This means that if a gadget driver supports super  
speed
it'll set driver->speed to USB_SPEED_SUPER and musb_gadget_start() will  
complain.

My understanding is that this is a bug in musb driver as it should allow  
the
gadget driver to start but never set super speed.

I'm on it already. ;)
