Right _before_ that line?  Not _after_ it?

That's surprising because the two preceding lines of code are the 
condition of an "if" statement and a dev_dbg() call.  I don't see how 
either of them could cause a hang.

Maybe the hang is a delayed reaction to something happening somewhere
else.  But on the assumption that it isn't, you could try commenting 
out various parts of ehci_bios_handoff to see which ones make a 
difference.

Nothing was attached.
