Bug Description

After update my DisplayLink device (HP 3005pt USB 3.0 Port Replicator)stopped working.

I can see it connected, USB, all other devices, except video don't come up.

https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/683672-my-displaylink-device-does-not-work-on-ubuntu

I am trying different ways to get it working back.
I have a dual boot laptop and on Windows device is working just fine, so no device issue.
