This resolves the conflict between developer mode (handled by usb-moded) and USB tethering (handled by connman) on Jolla phone. When phone boots up with USB connected, usb-moded handles it and turns on the developer mode. connman interferes with that by bringing interface down. If that happens, USB cable has to be physically reconnected to re-enable developer mode, which breaks automated testing and is generally inconvenient. We need connman to leave rndis0 alone until it's asked to turn USB tethering on.
