Yeah, it's not that obvious from just looking at the code, but L1 (and
BESL) are USB2 LPM concepts and if you disable LPM then there is no need
to override these values in the BOS descriptor either (as is done in
dwc3_gadget_config_params() and bos_desc()).

I was referring to the fact that these properties had been copied from
the vendor dtsi and seemingly so without further review or
justification in the commit message (e.g. to explain the
inconsistencies).

I fully agree with that.
