each read. Default is 0. On some boards the battery voltage is provided

the chip so can be read at any time. Excessive reading may decrease
battery life but no information is given in the datasheet.
-* fix_pwm_polarity int
+* fix_pwm_polarity bool
Force PWM polarity to active high (DANGEROUS). Some chips are
misconfigured by BIOS - PWM values would be inverted. This option tries
to fix this. Please contact your BIOS manufacturer and ask him for fix.
+* force_id short, short
+
+ Force multiple chip ID to specified value, separated by ','.
+ For example "force_id=0x8689,0x8633". A value of 0 is ignored
+ for that chip.
+ Note: A single force_id value (e.g. "force_id=0x8689") is used for
+ all chips, to only set the first chip use "force_id=0x8689,0".
+ Should only be used for testing.
+
+* ignore_resource_conflict bool
+
+ Similar to acpi_enforce_resources=lax, but only affects this driver.
+ ACPI resource conflicts are ignored if this parameter is provided and
+ set to 1.
+ Provided since there are reports that system-wide acpi_enfore_resources=lax
+ can result in boot failures on some systems.
+ Note: This is inherently risky since it means that both ACPI and this driver
+ may access the chip at the same time. This can result in race conditions and,
+ worst case, result in unexpected system reboots.
