When enabling said module parameter, the driver ignores all feature blacklists on relevant models, which has the potential for strange side effects. Also there seems to be a slight chance for unsupported devices to behave badly when probed for features. In such cases, the kernel should be tainted to inform people that these issues might have been caused by the dell_smm_hwmon driver with "force" enabled. Also reword the parameter description to remind users that enabling "force" also enables blacklisted features. Tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
