I am no kernel expert so, will leave that to those of you who are qualified. I did find this interesting. I am experiencing all of the same symptoms but, when I spin up a Windows instance in Virtualbox on 17.10 host, the camera is available and it works. Not sure how to explain that but, it does tell me that the camera is actually functionable.
