I might have introduced a bug in the driver (shame on me then), who knows...

Could you please set the trace parameter to 255 ('modprobe uvcvideo trace=255' 
if the driver is not loaded yet, or 'echo 255 
> /sys/modules/uvcvideo/parameters/trace' if the driver is already loaded). 
Plug the camera and check in the kernel log if the driver reports anything 
new.

Best regards,

Laurent Pinchart
