I don't know if it's the same webcam in the newest Macbook, but the the reverse engineered driver works perfectly for me on a 2013 model: https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/wiki

Just follow the instructions exactly. If it doesn't work first time, try `sudo modprobe -r bdc_pci` and then retry `sudo modprobe facetimehd` and see if it creates `/dev/video0` (which means it's working)

For suspend, is it waking up after you close the lid? I fixed this with:

    sudo -i
    echo XHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup
Then give it a test. If it works, pop it into a startup service somewhere.
