Got it, I guess this is for backward-compatibility.
I also have another thought. USBDEVFS_CONNINFO_EX is kind of special and
used to retrieve contents of variable length. If you check proc_conninfo_ex(),
I think maybe we can append a new member to "struct usbdevfs_conninfo_ex"
without breaking backward-compatibility.
By this way, we can avoid adding a new ioctl. Or even more aggressively,
drop USBDEVFS_GET_SPEED and force everyone to use USBDEVFS_CONNINFO_EX
since it can also return device speed.
Regards,
Dingyan
