Since there is no sign of 5986 in the more modern dmesg output but there are mentions of other usb 3-x, chances are it's a hardware defect. To be sure, boot an older kernel, boot another OS, observe.

Additionally, since it is a mobile devices, most feature a Fn key combination to enable or disable integrated cameras. Most often, this combination is intercepted by the system firmware and toggles the webcam's USB connection. A suddenly appearing hardware issue is not impossible, but extremely rare. TLDR: try pressing Fn + the key marked with a camera to re-enable it. Mihai
