Bug Description

This, as you can see, fails:

  # modprobe evdi
  modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'evdi': Exec format error

This is associated with this kernel message:

  [ 1292.225787] module: x86/modules: Skipping invalid relocation target, existing value is nonzero for type 1, loc 00000000ad6f48f0, val ffffffffc15fbdbd

I have also tried the driver provided by displaylink, it results in the same messages. I have since run displaylink-driver-5.4.1-55.174.run uninstall and ensured that that driver is not available to load.
