For testing purposes, the easiest way to do this is echo -1 >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend before plugging in the webcam. The -1 will then be used as the default autosuspend delay for all new USB devices, and since it is negative, autosuspend will be disabled. In the long run, it may be necessary to add a quirk entry to always use a reset-resume with this device. You can find similar entries in drivers/usb/core/quirks.c for other Logitech webcams, which makes it seem very likely that one is needed for yours. If you want you can try adding the appropriate entry and submit it as a patch. None of this explains why there isn't any problem when the webcam is plugged into a USB-3 port, unfortunately.
