To stop the journal messages, I've created a simple patch:

// 0001-allow-loglevel-none.patch
--- a/module/evdi_debug.h
+++ b/module/evdi_debug.h
@@ -11,7 +11,7 @@

 #include "evdi_params.h"

-#define EVDI_LOGLEVEL_ALWAYS  0
+// #define EVDI_LOGLEVEL_ALWAYS  0
 #define EVDI_LOGLEVEL_FATAL   1
 #define EVDI_LOGLEVEL_ERROR   2
 #define EVDI_LOGLEVEL_WARN    3

This will stop the spamming when using something like this:

// /etc/modprobe.d/evdi.conf
options evdi initial_loglevel=0 initial_device_count=4 disable_texture_import=1

It's a bit weird, because when looking at the source code (https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/blob/devel/module/evdi_debug.h#L22), every code seems to print debug messages.

According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DKMS_package_guidelines#Dependencies, dkms packages should not list linux-headers as a dependency. Currently, this package pulls in linux-headers on my system even though I'm running the linux-zen kernel.

@Morta This should always use the latest commit.

Package installation without problems - with kernel 5.13.1-3 (manjaro, install displaylink afterwards)

This package seems to use the wrong Linux headers.

From the last line of the install log:

==> Unable to install module evdi/1.9.1 for kernel 5.12.9-arch1-1: Missing kernel modules tree.
➜  ~ uname -a
Linux pedro 5.12.8-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri, 28 May 2021 15:10:20 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
➜  ~

Notice x.y.9 vs x.y.8 in the kernel version. Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas for a workaround? Installing with paru evdi-git.

As max-k wrote before: Installing displaylink: ...

...

evdi-git provides evdi-git-1.9.1.r3.gb0b3d13-1 which breaks displaylink package.
