For development and testing purposes, the i915.force_probe module
parameter and DRM_I915_FORCE_PROBE kconfig option allow probing of
devices that aren't supported by the driver.

The i915.force_probe module parameter is "unsafe" and setting it taints
the kernel. However, using the kconfig option does not.

Always taint the kernel when force probing a device that is not
supported.

v2: Drop "depends on EXPERT" to avoid build breakage (kernel test robot)

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.
