[PATCH v3 3/8] platform/x86: uniwill-laptop: Fix behavior of "force" module param
From: Armin Wolf
Date: Tue May 12 2026 - 19:22:41 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.
