Hello again,
solved it myself, posting here for the record.
Solution is to install uvcdynctrl and running
uvcdynctrl -i /usr/share/uvcdynctrl/data/046d/logitech.xml
And voila, custom controls back again. Not well documented, but hey.
Best regards, Florian

Hello everyone,
I recently upgraded from a 4.4 kernel to 4.10, and found that my Logitech
Quickcam Sphere now behaves differently.
More specifically, the pan/tilt controls do not work anymore - in fact, they
are completely gone from "v4l2-ctl -L".
I suspect that https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111291#c10 may be
related, and the new extension handling causes the pan/tilt controls to
disappear.
Question now is, how to get them back?
Best, Florian
