I'm actually wondering whether we really need to worry about it.
composite_driver has the âmax_speedâ field and I would just leave it as
composite driver's author responsibility to put correct value there.

One thing that could be worth doing is iterate over all the configurations and figure out if at least one supports the speed
declared by âmax_speedâ and if not, lower it.

That's the same as what I said: Use the highest speed supported by any
function driver.

Right.

Like I've said before, as additional functionality, composite.c could
check if it's USB_SPEED_UNKWONW in which case it would look for the lowest speed that all the functions support.

It's reasonable. Just be sure to document it properly; otherwise
nobody will understand or remember it!

I've found where my reasoning was faulty. The usb_gadget_driver's
max_speed is set before all the functions get added so composite.c has
no way to figure those things in advance. That's why we need to relay
on usb_composite_driver's max_speed be set to a proper value.
