There are two significant differences between the USB-2 and USB-3
traces, although I don't know what to make of them.

Initially it looks like the driver writes a bunch of values to the
webcam and asks it to repeat them back. That's what happens in the
USB-3 trace, anyway. The USB-2 trace shows the values being written,
but when asked to repeat them back the webcam sends nothing.

For example, with USB-3:

ffff8804085042c0 470397794 S Co:3:003:0 s 22 01 0100 0086 0003 3 = 803e00
ffff8804085042c0 470399896 C Co:3:003:0 0 3 >
ffff8804085042c0 470400004 S Ci:3:003:0 s a2 81 0100 0086 0003 3 <
ffff8804085042c0 470401270 C Ci:3:003:0 0 3 = 803e00

The 803e00 values get sent and then received. The analogous part of
the USB-2 trace shows:

ffff88040cc1f5c0 208122798 S Co:1:006:0 s 22 01 0100 0086 0003 3 = 803e00
ffff88040cc1f5c0 208124781 C Co:1:006:0 0 3 >
ffff88040cc1f5c0 208124818 S Ci:1:006:0 s a2 81 0100 0086 0003 3 <
ffff88040cc1f5c0 208126156 C Ci:1:006:0 0 0

Exactly the same values are sent and the request is the same, but no
data gets returned. I have no idea what that means.

Secondly, both traces show that the webcam stopped being used for a
short time and was suspended. A few seconds later, when it was resumed
again, it worked okay in the USB-3 trace. But in the USB-2 trace, it
didn't. After the resume it failed to reply to the first packet sent
(a Get-Device-Status request), and thus it had to be re-enumerated.

Have you tried using the webcam on a different computer?
