But isn't that what's happening right now? The gadget_driver structure
has a speed field which is set to the maximum speed the gadget driver
can handle. Only after this is set, usb_gadget_probe_driver() is
called so at this point a SS UDC can figure out whether it needs to
turn pieces needed for SS support or not.

Adding another attribute with the same show function seems easy, but
that's probably not elegant. ;)

Yep!
