   Dear Maintainer,   
      
   Since a recent kernel update, my webcam stopped working properly. The webcam   
   model is "Logitech C920 HD Pro" (USB ID 046d:0892); I will put the full lsusb   
   output below. What happens is that, when I am in a Zoom call, after someone   
   else   
   joins the call, flickering artifacts start to appear: the bottom half of the   
   image turns gray. I will attach an image. I have so far not been able to   
   reproduce this outside of Zoom. I tried Jitsi in the browser and Gnome Cheese.   
   (Zoom does *something* with the webcam when someone joins the call: the exact   
   frame of the webcam, i.e. how much of the room I see and where the image cuts   
   off, changes. I have no idea what that is about.)   
      
   I tried playing around with power_line_frequency; that did not help at all.   
      
   This only started recently. I tried booting a 6.12 kernel (with the same   
   userspace), that fixed the issue -- so it very much looks like a kernel issue   
   to   
   me. The issue is also present in 6.16, so it's a regression introduced some   
   time   
   between 6.12 and 6.16. I use Zoom fairly regularly professionally, so this bug   
   means I am pretty much stuck with a 6.12 kernel for now.   
      
   Kind regards,   
   Ralf Jung
