You misinterpreted my post.
I don't want webcam.
I get this errant message because I have a USB network adapter plugged in on
boot.
I believe this is related to /usr/src/UPDATING entry 20180211:
20180211:
devmatch functionality has been turned on in devd. It will
automatically
load drivers for unattached devices. This may cause unexpected drivers
to
be loaded. Please report any problems to current@ and imp@freebsd.org.
