Laptop webcam clogs up usb inputs. Unable to connect other peripherals

As I switched from gnome and wayland to xfce / i3 and X11 I noticed that my USB-keyboard and -mouse would not connect after some time had passed after boot. If they where connected during boot there was never any problems.
After som help from the IRC chat I was able to discover that the webcam was filling up the xinput list making it  impossible to connect additional devices. If I disable the device with xinput then that id frees up and a new instance of the webcam claims that id. It was suggested that this was a hardware issue, but could there be other reasons for this?  If it is in fact a hardware issue I would rather just have the device ignored than starting to mess with the laptop screen lid. I rarely have use for a webcam.

It seems that this is a temporary fix for the issue, allthough it is hard to confirm since the issue is not very consistant. For instance yesterday I had no issues the whole day, but this morning it started malfunctioning almost right away. Where would I put this or something similar to make it a more permanent solution? ~/.xprofile?

 # echo 0 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1.3/authorization 

EDIT: I have a ASUS Zenbook u500VZ

I have googled the output from dmesg but haven't found much useful information. The posts I found where either unaswered or the solution didn't work. For insance, one thread mentions installing v4l-utils, which I discovered was already installed on my system.

As can be seen in the outputs below, from when the issue has appeared,  the device actually seems to disappear from the lsusb[.py] list when malfunctioning. The "bus number" also disappears from the /sys/bus/usb/device/ directory so it can't really be done aft

What could be the reason this happens only in X11 and not Wayland?

Any information about how to troubleshoot this further would be greatly appreciated!

Here are the outputs from when everything is working just after boot:

And some information from jourcnalctl -b  that looked interesting.

Re: Laptop webcam clogs up usb inputs. Unable to connect other peripherals

I haven't been able to locate the source of this issue. But I was able to avoid the symptoms.

I simply added this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-custom.conf

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Laptop-webcam"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    MatchVendor "Chicony"
    MatchUSBID "04f2:b36e"
    Option "Ignore" "on"
EndSection

I have never had any problems since. But it will of course disable the webcam completely. It makes little difference to me though as I hardly ever use it.
