"disable" it's not required. It's used for testing. It allows to enable/disable the current role.
It can be used for testing eg. connect/disconnect event. 

I mainly test the driver remotely and I can't do connect/disconnect by USB cable. 
"disable" allow me to get trace log from host/device without disconnecting cable:
I'm using the fallowing sequence:
 - load cdns3.ko modules 
 - echo 1 > disable - disable current role
 - echo cdns3:* tracing/set_event 
 - echo 0 > disable  - enable role again 
 - cat tracing/trace.
