RB5 as UVC provider

Is there an example of how to get the RB5 to behave like a UVC device to attach to another Linux host? For example on the Pi Zero without a custom kernel one sets dtoverlay=dwc2  in a config.txt for OTG support, reboot and then runs: sudo modprobe g_webcam;
./uvc-gadget -d

It seems that g_webcam is not configured in the stock kernel. Is there an example to use configfs? or steps to get, reconfigure and recompile the kernel?

He would like to use the RB5 + Vision Kit as a "Webcam" basicially can you plug in your computer to the usb-c port of the RB5, it runs some software that forwards the vision kit video stream over the USB-C to the computer. This is then presented as a UVC compatible device (just like a usb webcam) 
simple as that, I'd like to try that to. 

Is that possible with software running on the RB5 to forward the live video stream from the vision kit over the usb interface?
