A UDC design might have multiple versions, some supporting remote wakeup 
and others not.  But drivers generally use a single static 
usb_gadget_ops structure, and they don't modify it at runtime to account 
for hardware differences.  So if a single driver controls those multiple 
versions, you can't rely on the presence of gadget->ops->wakeup to 
indicate whether there actually is hardware remote wakeup support.

Ideally, the usb_gadget structure should have a wakeup_capable flag 
which the UDC driver would set appropriately (probably during its probe 
routine).
