My webcam is constantly appearing and disappearing from my devices (either in /dev/video* or with l4v2ctrl --list-devices). After checking dmesg, I see that the kernel is detecting the webcam usb device constantly connecting and disconnecting and I'm not sure why.
$ watch "dmesg | grep -v UFW | grep -A 5 -B 5 disconnect"

As soon as I start using it, it remains connected, which is really puzzling me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Notice that power managing tools like TLP can and will alter this configuration and you will have to configure them to stop doing so as well (or configure them to exempt the webcam from suspending)

That worked! I wanted to keep the power saving measure while not causing problems with my webcam, so I increased the delay in the usbcore module parameters and all is well! Thanks!

My webcam has the same behavior, could you give your steps to reproduce, how to do t?
Thanks!
