I got another set of log after booting on mainline (appended below) and touchpad not working. The log shows up that first before the "controller timed out spamming" starts:
i2c_designware AMDI0010:00: i2c_dw_handle_tx_abort: lost arbitration
i2c_designware AMDI0010:00: controller timed out
i2c_hid i2c-MSFT0004:00: failed to retrieve report from device.
Now, I found these 3 exact log messages related to a touchpad issue in this kernel commit to fix another DELL Win8 touchpad in 2015:

From this commit it seems like a similar failure occurs with the MSFT touchpad.
