tested on Lenovo Carbon.
First it shows 2 devices (but there is only one webcam):

uvideo0 on uhub1
uvideo0: <8SSC21K64613V1SR41F138L Integrated Camera, class 239/2, rev

uvideo0: 2 format(s), iface_index=1, endpoint=0x81, psize=2940, isoc
uvideo0: default format: pixfmt=0x47504a4d, 1280x720, max_fbuf=4147200

uvideo1: <8SSC21K64613V1SR41F138L Integrated Camera, class 239/2, rev

uvideo1: 1 format(s), iface_index=3, endpoint=0x82, psize=1300, isoc
uvideo1: default format: pixfmt=0x59455247, 640x360, max_fbuf=230400
uvideo1: registered as /dev/video1


Tested with videolan (opening the v4l2:///dev/videoX device):
- The first video0 shows a full HD video but upside-down
- The second video1 shows a smaller resolution video (640x360) from the
same device, black and white, flickering, still upside-down
