If the camera/dock combination no longer works at all, even on other
computers, then it's fair to say that one or the other is bricked.

There's no way to force the kernel to attach a bricked device.  Not 
that it would do you any good if you could, since every I/O attempt 
would merely generate another one of those errors.

You might be able to get the things working again by doing a complete 
reinitialization.  I don't know what that would involve, though.
