I know not all, but some, especially Cessna's recommend flap settings for crosswind landings. While I know someone will ridicule me for saying it is only a "recommendation", that doesn't mean to ignore the information. Generally info isn't in a POH just because the typist is a union worker and had to read 10,000 words to get paid the full amount.

I also do realize that some POH's don't even mention crosswind landings. I know for myself, if I am unsure about a procedure to be used for a specific airplane, I think the POH is usually a pretty good place to start
