okay, then you need to ask for support from whoever gave you this
kernel. 4.6 is a really old release which this forum doesn't support.

which driver is g_webcam binding to? What do you have under
/sys/class/udc ?

[...] I'm assuming it's this "vivid" driver which isn't in the upstream
kernel and, again, we can't support :-s

If this is part of an SDK, you've probably already paid for support from
the vendor, I suggest you use their support channel.

Best of luck
