Not meant as an answer to the problem. Only explaining why "You just cannot!" is the only possible answer to the question as worded in the title :


It is indeed possible to pass boot parameters of the kind :

module_name.parameter_name=parameter_value

Which will be honored by some in-kernel built module_name driver at the condition the driver accepts the parameter_name and parameter_value is within the ranges of accepted values.

The usb-storage driver would for example be able to ignore one particular usb storage device using a boot command line parameter of the kind :

usb-storage.quirks=03f0:b002:iu

Because the usb-storage is programmed in order to honor the quirks parameter and decode its value as representing Vendor-Id:Product-Id and i meaning IGNORE_DEVICE.

If the uvcvideo driver does honor a quirks parameter, it unfortunately, offers no particular value forc that parameter aimed at disabling the device.
