Ok, agreed. Thanks for the clarification. I saw your patch, I'll update
mine in the same way.

Not sure how to verify this. I need to know whether the driver that is
registered with the UDC is SS or not. This is before the function drivers
are binded to it. So how can I verify at that point that the function
drivers that will bind to this driver will provide SS descriptors?
(I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to view the code at the moment and
due to the time differences between us I don't want to leave this question
for tomorrow and loose another day...)
