platform/x86: dell-ddv: Add "force" module param
Until now, the dell-wmi-ddv driver needs to be manually patched and compiled to test compatibility with unknown DDV WMI interface versions. Add a module param to allow users to force loading even when a unknown interface version was detected. Since this might cause various unwanted side effects, the module param is marked as unsafe.
