true, let's take your approach for now.

But we might still want to force HighSpeed even though the HW has
SuperSpeed support. The real solution, for the long run would be to
always start with pullups disabled (iow, don't connect to host
immediately) and only connect after the gadget driver is all
initialized, then we will know the gadget speed before connecting, and
we can have the gadget driver "request" for a particular speed from the
controller.

For now, let's take your approach.
