The periodic schedule was enabled here.

And it was disabled here.  Do you have any idea why the uvcvideo driver 
submits an interrupt URB and then cancels it 150 us later?  The same 
thing shows up in the usbmon traces.

Now ehci-hcd tried to re-enable the periodic schedule.  Note that 
this is 70 ms after it was supposed to be disabled.

This error message means that the disable request from 70 ms earlier
hasn't taken effect.  It looks like a nasty hardware bug -- the
controller is supposed to disable the schedule no more than 2 ms after
being told to do so.

Has this device ever worked with any earlier kernels?

A little more debugging information could confirm this.  After the
error occurs, go into /sys/kernel/debug/usb/ehci/0000:00:1d.7 and post
a copy of the "registers" file.  If there's anything of interest in the
other files, post them too.
