When we run ConnMan in this way, we only have a network connection in eth0, but
it does work via BT or WiFi as well.

The primary use case is to keep ConnMan running so that in OSMC users can still
configure Bluetooth connections or WiFi adapters with a unified interface (and
we can support it with a single API).
ConnMan is configured to ignore eth0 when nfsroot is active because the
connection has been configured as a kernel command line parameter.

If you use ConnMan with either patch of yours applied, using the DNS
servers for the primary nfsroot interface will always work properly,
even for any other Bluetooth or WiFi network, right? Or you use ConnMan
only for tethering Bluetooth and WiFi?

You are running connman with the --nodnsproxy option with no networks
connected when the resolv.conf file contains only the "# Generated by
Connection Manager" line. If you connect a network using ConnMan, it
will overwrite the nameserver information in /etc/resolv.conf with the
information obtained from DHCP for the newly connected network... This
without either of your patch applied, of course.
So your use of ConnMan is either or both:
- tethering of other interfaces
- connecting other interfaces but using the primary nfsroot interface
nameservers
Is this what is happening?

Yes, I saw them, thanks for both variants. After I have figured out what
OSMC is up to, there is perhaps an optimal way of making this work well
for both OSMC and the rest of the "road warrior" setups.
