Hi, here is the output of `journalctl -f | grep DEN`
I started the command, then connected the USB camera, then opened
Chromium. I tried accessing Google Meet and then the WebRTC test page.
In neither, the USB camera was available to choose.
I tested with another USB camera, and that other camera worked. Here is
the lsusb and output of the same commands for this second camera:

The output of the v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext seem different. I'm
suspecting this could be a colorspace issue

Bug description:
I'm trying to use an USB camera on Chromium, however it is not being
detected. lsusb shows it as:

While this camera isn't the best I've ever seen, it works properly
when using ffplay and guvcview. The following is the output of some
