If your interested in details, page 12 of the pdf here has some details:
https://github.com/96boards/documentation/blob/master/ConsumerEdition/HiKey/AdditionalDocs/HiKey_Hardware_User_Manual_Rev0.2.pdf

There's also schematics for the board available (if you are interested
in that sort of stuff). You can find the USB bits on Page 4 here:

Yes. It drops back to full-speed.
