I had a similar problem with my new MSI X370. I found that pressing "Fn-F6" (has a round webcam pic on the F6 key) and then running lsusb again gives me this.

You may have tried that already, but I went a week thinking my webcam wouldn't work before I tried that. lsusb before doesn't have the BisonCam line. Hit Fn-F6, and run lsusb again, and poof... there it is. Cheese works great after that (though I don't think it's a stellar webcam).

Hope that helps.
