Currently all the idle states registered by a cpu-idle driver are
enabled by default. This patch adds a mechanism which allows the
driver to hint if an idle-state should start in a disabled state. The
cpu-idle core will use this hint to appropriately initialize the
usage->disable knob of the CPU device idle state.

Why do you need to do that ?

I think patch 2/2 explains the reason as it uses this infrastructure
