I have added the same "this may be dangerous" text from:

  pr_info("Pass dell_lis3lv02d.probe_i2c_addr=1 on the kernel commandline to probe, this may be dangerous!\n");

to the MODULE_PARM_DESC() now too (for v5).

As mentioned before Dell is on the Cc. And I no longer have any direct
contacts inside Dell. If you know anyone inside Dell feel free to email
them about this.

Hans
