Description
What feature would you like to see and why?
There are certain cable or host controller problems that can result in a HackRF being detected by the host as a Full Speed USB device instead of High Speed. It would be helpful for troubleshooting if hackrf_info (and possibly other tools) would warn if a Full Speed HackRF device is detected.

Research direction
Start by locating the implementation of hackrf_info and the USB device information it already reports. Trace how the connected HackRF's USB speed can be identified, then determine where a warning belongs. Done means hackrf_info warns when a HackRF is detected at Full Speed instead of High Speed, without changing the normal output for High Speed devices.
