platform/x86: uniwill-laptop: Do not enable the charging limit even when forced
It seems that on some older models (~2020) the battery charging limit
can permanently damage the battery. Prevent users from enabling this
feature thru the "force" module parameter to avoid causing permanent
hardware damage on such devices.
