[PATCH 3/6] platform/x86: uniwill-laptop: Fix behavior of "force" module param

From: Armin Wolf

Date: Mon Apr 06 2026 - 15:39:00 EST


Users might want to force-enable all possible features even on
machines with a valid device descriptor. Until now the "force"
module param was ignored on such machines. Fix this to make
it easier to test for support of new features.
