At support to have the kernel probe for the i2c-address for models

The new probing code sits behind a new probe_i2c_addr module parameter,
which is disabled by default because probing might be dangerous.

I would really like to hear Dell opinion about this change, and if there
is really no way to get i2c address. Could you ask Dell people about it?
Always it is better to use official / vendor provided steps of hardware
detection, instead of inventing something new / own which would be there
for a long time...
Unfortunately I no longer have any contacts inside Dell for
this and given Dell's non response in the original thread
which started this I'm not hopeful for help from Dell here.
Unfortunately, since Mario Limonciello left Dell and works at AMD now,
despite adding Dell.Client.Kernel@xxxxxxxx to Cc: I never received a
reply from them. Do you have any contacts?
(Dell ships Ubuntu on the “developer machines”, but I could never figure
out, how the relationship works. At least the Dell support always said,
GNU/Linux support is provided by “the community”.)
Kind regards,
Paul
