I checked the brief history of this adding  "setup_xfer_req" to
support Samsung UFSHCI (this was the ground work done)
We need this to support vendor specific NEXUS_TYPE settings.
The Samsung UFSHCI driver will be up for review in near future
For usecase of the function pointer please see an older version of the
patch https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7306321/
