Hi,

$ uname -a
Linux e130 4.9.0-14-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.246-2 (2020-12-17) x86_64 
GNU/Linux

$ cat /etc/debian_version
9.13

$ inxi -M
Machine:
   Type: Laptop System: LENOVO product: 33588QG v: ThinkPad Edge E130

I have had a problem with having the integrated webcam to be recognized 
by various applications (cheese, Microsoft Teams [yes...], Zoom, etc). 
It does work sometimes and it doesn't at other times.

I have various kernels installed (4.9.0-11-amd64 all the way through 
4.9.0-14-amd64) and rebooting into each of these kernels won't make much 
difference.

I have uninstalled, purged and reinstalled build-essential 
linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-image-amd64`uname -r` (for each of the 
kernel versions) and usbutils, and I have also uninstalled tlp, but it 
doesn't seems to make much difference.

This is the full log of `dmesg|grep video` of today, when I had the last 
failure:

https://paste.debian.net/plainh/1c22d1aa

I can't upgrade to Debian stable for a number of reasons that it will 
take to long to explain and I have to stick with Stretch for the time 
being. I've only had this problem for the last 6 months, presumably 
after some upgrades.

Any help will be appreciated.
