Late reply...

I did put an entry for the SD card reader in /etc/rc.conf, it now contains:

webcamd_enable="YES"
webcamd_0_flags="-N NC2141103L541015BDLM04-HD-WebCam -S 200901010001"
webcamd_1_flags="-N Generic-USB2-0-CRW -S 20100201396000000"

The webcam works fine with mplayer tv://

When I insert an actual SD card in the latop, the SD card reader gives
no response in dmesg however.
The touchpad is still unresponsive too (both point and click). I updated
to kernel 859ec5eb2c8(drm-next)

It seems to me that the touchpad works over I2C, so I added a bunch of
iic kernel modules to no avail:

/etc/rc.conf:kld_list="i915kms.ko cuse.ko vmm.ko if_bridge.ko if_tap.ko
if_iwm.ko coretemp.ko iic.ko iicbus.ko iicsmb.ko iicbb.ko smbus.ko ums.ko"

There are no /dev/iic* files. Perhaps we need to port the ims driver
from OpenBSD for this?
http://man-k.org/man/OpenBSD-6.1/4/ims (or imt ?)
