V2.1.5 B

This pre-release is inteneded to fix the blackscreen issue with ThinkPad P50 devices by using different methods to access the embedded controller, but it could still be compatible for other devices.

However the temperature reading seems to be off, making smart control unusable. It could also affect system stability since auto manual mode exit cannot be used, so it is not recommended to set the manual fan level too low.
