That would be a useful module parameter for a SuperSpeed UDC driver.
Like the parameter Tanya added to dummy-hcd.

Unfortunately this would mean changing a bunch of UDC drivers. But I
agree, it makes sense for the gadget driver to specifically ask for the
pullups to be enabled when it is ready.

Don't some of the existing UDC drivers fail to implement the pullup
method at all?
