This is the following chain: am335x -> musb-> ftdi_sio (FT-X flavor).

I have also tried another system with two FT4232 chips (RS232 devices)
and performed transmission tests. This had no effect, the system
didn't stall.

Yes.

No, I can switch between 300MHz and 600MHz and perform CAN tests.
Everything goes well.
