Solution from https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2477627 does not work because patch is for different kernel version.

So, need to update patch for new kernel. For this, instead of downloading uvc_driver.c as described here https://github.com/Giuliano69/uvc_driver-for-Quanta-HD-User-Facing-0x0408-0x4035-/blob/main/compile_module.sh#L24, it is necessary to copy existing file uvc_driver.c and to add this block https://github.com/Giuliano69/uvc_driver-for-Quanta-HD-User-Facing-0x0408-0x4035-/blob/main/uvc_driver.c#L2469 (or previous, depending on your webcam version) to the corresponding place. After that, compile and install in the same way.
