I have a v4l2 device that works fine with Rocky Linux 9.3. The node /dev/video0 is present when the device is connected. The dmesg output includes the following line.
[79694.820351] usb 2-1: Found UVC 1.10 device AVMATRIX USB Capture Video (04b4:4231)
With Rocky Linux 9.4, the video0 node does not appear under /dev. The dmesg output is missing the above line.
Did something change in Rocky Linux 9.4?
Are you testing this by switching to the old 9.3 kernel, and the device still works, but then does not work when you boot to the 9.4 kernel?
The v4l2 device was working with Rocky Linux 9.3. Then, we did a fresh install of Rocky Linux 9.4 from an ISO. The v4l2 device stopped working, even after fully power cycling the host. The v4l2 device was then moved to a different host running Rocky Linux 9.3 and is running fine now.
Have you looked through dmesg to see what the kernel is doing when the device is plugged in? There were no changes to v4l2 or uvc since 9.3’s development. Below are relevant change logs during 9.3’s development.
No other change logs talk about uvcvideo nor v4l2 since these.

Strange. I moved the v4l2 device back to the host running Rocky Linux 9.4 and now /dev/video0 shows up. Thanks for looking at this issue.
