As an "interested" party, I had a quick look at current ftdi_sio.c history
( 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=history;f=drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c;h=be845873e23dba98fc306fecceb71a672a2c7d74;hb=HEAD
 ),
and there doesn't seem to be much committed that's relevant.

However,

    USB: ftdi_sio: fix endianess of max packet size

    The USB max packet size (always little-endian) was not being byte
    swapped on big-endian systems.

    Applicable since [USB: ftdi_sio: fix hi-speed device packet size 
calculation] approx 2.6.31

might be a good example of where to find and how to treat such issues.
