Actually I'm not sure about that... Because SS controller handles things a
bit differently than HS/FS/LS. For example look at set_ss_link_state(), the
port status is reported differently than for HS/FS/LS devices.
It could be done, I mean spare the the_ss_controller variable and use
the_controller, and we did that at first, but later on we decided to go back
to this implementation since the code got too complex. Since dummy_hcd.c is
used for debugging purposes we decided that simplicity is the better
approach here.
