I’m trying out Fedora IoT 33 on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1 (armv7l). I have a Cluster HAT module v2.4 (the Cluster HAT interfaces one Raspberry Pi controller (the Pi 2 Model B rev 1.1) with four Raspberry Pi Zero nodes).

I’m following the instructions for powering up the Raspberry Pi Zero followers (see the section “Custom Control” on the linked page), which requires the i2cset tool from the i2c-tools package to be installed on the controller (the Pi 2 Model B rev 1.1).
Trying to install i2c-tools returns an error…

… my interpretation of this is that SELinux is preventing the install script run by rpm-ostree from installing the i2c_dev kernel module, which results in rpm-ostree process being terminated by a SIGSEGV (11).
How should I install the i2c_dev kernel module / i2c-tools on Fedora IoT without disabling SELinux?
