Mojave kernel_task high increase over time

Seems I'm not the only one to notice the relationship between the Kernel Task CPU utilisation increasing and display link.

Seems the only way to get kernel task use back down is to uninstall display link drivers and then reinstall them. I'm then ok for a day or so and then kernel task starts getting back to the 30% cpu utilisation again....follow same process of uninstall and reinstall to get it back to 1% and start again.

I'm not sure what DisplayLink drivers are doing in the back ground but obviously not good.
