I solved this with help from Dell support forum.

You don't need to rebuild the entire kernel but just a single module (uvcvideo), here is an example on debian stretch :
- Get source and headers for your current kernel :
apt-get install linux-source-4.9 linux-headers-amd64
- Untar and configure :
cd /usr/src/linux-source-4.9
make oldconfig
cp -v /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/Module.symvers .
make prepare
make modules_prepare
make scripts
- Apply patch : https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/8/1117
- Build the kernel module an install it :
cd drivers/media/usb/uvc
make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd) modules
make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd) modules_install
- Load new module
depmod
rmmod uvcvideo
modprobe -f uvcvideo
- Extra Step
delete /lib/modules/4.9.0-6-amd64/extra/uvcvideo.ko if you want to go back to original kernel module
