I am running Ubuntu 22.04.4 on a dell XPS 13 9315 and suddenly started having issues with my webcam.
The camera does not seem to turn on and just shows black in each application I try (chrome, cheese, kamoso, zoom). Previously, when the camera was wokring, the light next to it would come on. Now the light never comes on.
v4l2-ctl recognized Intel MIPI Camera as well as some ipu6 devices:
sudo v4l2-ctl --list-devices [sudo] password for benc: ipu6 (PCI:pci:pci0000:00): /dev/video1 /dev/video2 /dev/video3 /dev/video4 /dev/video5 /dev/video6 /dev/video7 /dev/video8 ipu6 (pci:pci0000:00): /dev/media0 Intel MIPI Camera (platform:v4l2loopback-000): /dev/video0 The output of lsusb does not seem to recognize the camera:

This did not seem to make any difference.
