Hi Yi,

This breaks our usecase where we have been using connman and
systemd-networkd in tandem for a long time. IMO this should be reverted
as if the two applications are conflicting then the correct fix is that
they should be configured so that they don't both try to configure the
same interfaces. As systemd-networkd doesn't ship with any rules by
default it shouldn't be doing anything to interfere?

With this patch I can no-longer run both services as it's a hard
conflict with no option to either revert locally, or bbappend this patch
out.

Regards,
Jack.
