But investigating that function won't help, because it blocks waiting for the hardware. Clearly the problem lies in your nVidia chipset. If you want to delve deeper, make sure your kernel has CONFIG_USB_DEBUG and CONFIG_DEBUG_FS enabled. Mount a debugfs filesystem on /sys/kernel/debug. Then when the hang occurs, go into the appropriate subdirectory of /sys/kernel/debug/usb/ohci (the one corresponding to the controller your FTDI device is plugged into) and collect copies of the files there.
