RNDIS host does not manage the USB power, and it will
cause more power consumption even when no data transferring.

Adding the power management operator will make the USB
enter suspend mode when no data transferring.

You are doing two things here.

1) Adding a new vendor:Product ID
2) Making that new device manage power.

The commit message does not make this clear. Please split this into
two patches, and make the commit messages better.
