as soon as you proceed past this point (including normal non-single-
user boot), the dwiic starts spewing time-out messages. These
messages come every 0.5 second or so, and there's usually a hundred
or more messages before they stop; in some cases the messages have
continued to stream by for several minutes (at which point I pressed
the reset button). The value for %d is always 0 or 1.
Probably result of
GENERIC:ihidev* at iic?
that is probing for a modern laptop touchpad.
Can you disable ihidev instead of dwiic and see what happens then ?
