there still seems to be a push by a kernel maintainer to get module rndis_host disabled and eventually removed, when rndis_host is needed for tethering a desktop via USB to a mobile phone to get internet access for the desktop if Ethernet / WiFi is not available.
Although my mobile handset isn't particularly new, it is running Android 13 and provides tethering which causes the kernel to load rndis_host, and creates an eth1 entry which can be made to work simply via:
ifdown eth0 && ifconfig eth1 up && dhclient eth1
Removing this capability just seems to be completely counter-productive while there are devices that can only tether via rndis_host.
