Hi,

yes, it is a valid concern. An #ifdef will be needed.

Good idea - I will post V3 shortly.

I'm assuming you mean to add #ifdef CONFIG_USB_RTL8152 around the
blacklist entry in cdc_ether driver.

Shouldn't that be an #if IS_ENABLED(...) test, since that seems to be the proper way to check configured drivers.

Yes, I had the same feedback on v3.  See my comments at
<https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9974485/>.  Grant has fixed it in
v4.  Please see <https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9976657/>.  :)
