platform/x86: lenovo-wmi-other: Add force_load_psy_ext module parameter

Browse source

Some Lenovo BIOS have been shown to have incomplete and/or broken
capability data and WMI attribute IDs. In some cases the capability data
reports that a feature is not supported when the get/set methods are
fully implemented. It is also possible that the ACPI methods from the
ideapad_laptop driver we defer to could be bugged while the WMI method
is fully working. To aid end users in submitting more complete bug
reports in these situations, add an override to skip the ACPI and
compatibility checks to force load the power supply extension as if it
is fully supported and has no conflicts.
