Also note that LPM is for device operating in usb2 speed. If it's usb3
speeds, then you need to disable U3 suspend.

Most drivers don't fully support every feature. They are implemented as
needed. I'm not familiar with NCM/RNDIS driver. Perhaps you can ping its
maintainer to see its current status to see if it needs to be updated.
Unless there's a quirk from the host/device, we shouldn't have to
disable LPM.
