Hi,
I have tried much of that... Bios updated too.
There is no /dev/video0 says v4l2
Can you confirm you managed to make camera work on HP Elite Dragonfly 13.5 inch G3 Notebook PC (4J044AV) ?
They say here (https://www.linuxnow.com.au) that they can ship it with ubuntu installed...

Best,
-Fred

Fred,
I do not own a HP Elite Dragonfly 13.5 inch G3 Notebook PC so I did not
get the webcam to work. My testing was done on a HP Elitebook 840 G3.
