    The only reason for doing that would be if the function was incapable
    of carrying out its duties when running at full speed (insufficient
    bandwidth, for example). Something like this is discussed briefly in
    section 9.2.6.6 of the USB-2 spec.

    If somebody writes a composite gadget containing two functions, one of
    which supports only full speed and the other only high speed, they'll
    get what they deserve. :-)

    Still, maybe I was wrong. Maybe it would be better to use the fastest
    speed supported by at least one of the function drivers. The user can
    always force a SuperSpeed-capable device to run at high speed by using
    a USB-2 cable to plug it in. I'm not sure whether the user could force
    such a device to run at full speed, however.
