Public bug reported:

I've got a bug similar to this one here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872634

There's a detailed description here
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1241552/making-hercules-classic-link-
web-camera-work-with-ubuntu-19-10

The strange thing is, it does not work in 19.10 and live-usb 20.04, but
it does work in 14.04 and 16.04. The last one I tried from Virtualbox by
adding a USB device in the settings - and it works just fine. When I do
`lsmod | grep gspca` in 16.04, I get the following output:

gspca_pac7302  20480  0
gspca_main     36864  1 gspca_pac7302
v4l2_common    16384  2 gspca_main
videodev      188416  3 gspca_main, gspca_pac7302, v4l2_common

Whereas on my machine with 19.10 it's like this:

gspca_pac7302          20480  0
gspca_main             24576  1 gspca_pac7302
videobuf2_vmalloc      20480  1 gspca_main
videobuf2_v4l2         24576  1 gspca_main
videobuf2_common       53248  2 gspca_main,videobuf2_v4l2
videodev              208896  5 
gspca_main,gspca_pac7302,v4l2_common,videobuf2_v4l2,videobuf2_common

I already tried modprobe -r for all videobuf2_* and gspca_* modules and
adding v4l2, but it just restored the previous module config.

Could you please advice how could I solve this? I'm not sure which way
to follow from here.
