The i915.alpha_support module parameter has caused some confusion along the way. Add new i915.force_probe parameter to specify PCI IDs of devices to probe, when the devices are recognized but not automatically probed by the driver. The name is intended to reflect what the parameter effectively does, avoiding any overloaded semantics of "alpha" and "support". The parameter supports "" to disable, "<pci-id>,[<pci-id>,...]" to enable force probe for one or more devices, and "*" to enable force probe for all known devices. Also add new CONFIG_DRM_I915_FORCE_PROBE config option to replace the DRM_I915_ALPHA_SUPPORT option. This defaults to "*" if DRM_I915_ALPHA_SUPPORT=y. Instead of replacing i915.alpha_support immediately, let the two coexist for a while, with a deprecation message, for a transition period.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
