Subject[PATCH 3/3] hwmon: (dell-smm) Improve warning messages
Date
When dell-smm-hwmon is loaded on a machine with a buggy BIOS
with the option "force" being enabled, it wrongly prints
what the buggy features where disabled. This may cause
users to wrongly assume that the driver still protects them
from these BIOS bugs even with "force" being enabled.
Change the warning message to avoid such a misunderstanding.

Tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505.
