How do you know?
If you modprobe that module manually, does the camera start to work? If not, there's no reason try loading it automatically. But if it does:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel … odprobe.d/

Also, your posting of the kernel log is completely useless. It's just the last 10 lines, the full log contains thousands of them…
