Ick, that's 68 thousand patches old (i.e. one year...)

Have you tried the 3.18 kernel release to see if it is better, because:

That's a xhci (the USB 3 controller) issue, and there have been lots of
xhci fixes in the past year as new controllers have been released and we
have fixed the bugs in them.

And you are using USB 3 streams in your USB 2 camera?  That doesn't make
sense.  What camera driver is this?

Anyway, please try 3.18, that should work.  If not, let's drag this over
to the linux-usb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list as the xhci developers
should learn about this, it doesn't look like a media driver issue just
yet.

thanks,
