I would guess your OS is starting dhcpcd on all interfaces unless 
instructed not to do so.
So, ask your distribution on how to do this.

An alternative would be to deny dhcpcd running on certain interfaces, 
which
which you can achieve in dhcpcd.conf(5) but that only works when one 
dhcpcd process
controls all interfaces which it looks like your OS does not do.
