my suggestion was exactly to change that :-) Speed is something
functions support. composite.c shouldn't dictate which speed functions
should use, rather composite.c should use the maximum speed which all
functions support.

I wouldn't say that, actually. Just replacing is_dualspeed with
max_speed isn't changing much and if you want to make that part of the
code better, why not doing The Right Thing(TM) ?

All of the speed negotiation between composite.c and f_*.c should happen
before even connecting to host (before attaching data pullups, enabling
IRQs, etc), that's exactly why me and Sebastian have decided (at that
time off list) to add udc_start()/udc_stop() methods. One of the reason
was that it would be a quite intrusive change to all UDC drivers, second
we wanted to give maintainers/authors of those UDC drivers some grace
period for the change, third  when all UDCs are converted, it allow us
to do the speed negotiation before connecting to host.

you already maximum_speed (below) and speed alone looses some extra
hint of what kind of information will be there. I think it's better to
change this to current_speed and make a symbolic link called 'speed'
which we can keep for the next 5 years and remove it in e.g. Linux v5.0

I rather have the announcement. See above that you can make a symbolic
link with the name 'speed' for the time being.
