Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 6.12.41-1

After updating to kernel version 6.12.41-1 on Debian 13 (linux-image-amd64), the internal laptop camera stopped being detected by the system. This issue did not occur with the previous kernel version, where the camera functioned normally.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Update the system to kernel 6.12.41-1.
2. Reboot the laptop.
3. Check the camera using applications like Cheese, Zoom, or other video conferencing tools — the device is not listed.

What I tried:
- Verified the BIOS settings (camera enabled).
- Checked with `lsusb` and `dmesg` (no detection of the camera hardware).
- Rolled back to previous kernel — camera works again.
- Confirmed no hardware or BIOS update occurred, only the kernel update.

Outcome:
The camera is not detected or usable in any application when running the new kernel.

Expected outcome:
The internal camera should be detected and function normally after the kernel update, as it did before.

This suggests a possible regression in the kernel related to the camera driver.

Thank you for your attention and support.
