When DHCP is enabled default gateway gets removed even if the interface is not connected to a DHCP server.

When the DHCP value changes, we receive a RTM_DELROUTE message from rtnetlink, prompting us to delete the default gateway. If the interface is not connected to a DHCP server, it will become unreachable

@wak-google @ratagupt since upstream supports both Static and DHCP IP addresses to coexist
static gateway can't be deleted which breaks static network unless DHCP gateway assigned on ethernet interface right

@wak-google can you please share your views on this issue.

I think its better to remove static IP address when there is RTM_DELROUTE message from rtnetlink
