You mean I don't need the module parameter? IMO it's the best way to enable
HS connection. If driver->speed=USB_SPEED_SUPER than dummy_hcd will try to
enumerate the device on the SS root hub and if the gadget didn't provide SS
descriptors - it will fail. Just as it happened before. Finding out from
dummy_hcd that the enumeration failed is very complicated (if even possible)
and I'm not sure that is the right thing to do... If you connect a real
device over SS port to xHCI and the device doesn't provide SS descriptors -
the enumeration fails and it's ok. But if you connect the same device to a
HS port - it should work properly. This is what I tried to simulate with
this parameter.

Regarding the default value set to false, this of course can be changed. I
just thought that at the moment most of the existing gadget drivers don't
have SS descriptors so their default operation mode is HS.
