Sure, the callers always can directly call udelay() or usleep_range().

The customizable delay (either by hosts or devices) value in UFS driver
is becoming more and more, like "reference clock gating delay" and
introduced "hce_enable_delay". The customized delay time could be 0, <
10 us, or >= 10 us in real cases. Hence this function can help driver
simplify the driver and user's decision of "just passed without any
delay" or "choosing a suitable delay function according to the delay
time".
