Hi,
I think probably not.
Full description of subcalss is "SFF-8020i, MMC-2 (ATAPI)" and comment
is that such subclass is used mainly by CD/DVD.

For example here http://www.ata-atapi.com/scsi.html is written:
"If you are looking for the SCSI command set used by ATAPI CD-ROM or DVD
devices then you should go to the T10 site and find the MMC or MMC-2
documents. Please note that the old SFF-8020 (INF-8020) document is now
obsolete. SFF-8020 (INF-8020) has been replaced by the T13 ATA/ATAPI-4
standard (for the interface and command protocol descriptions) and by
the T10 MMC or MMC-2 standards (for the SCSI command set).
The SCSI standards are published by ANSI NCITS Technical Committee 10,
or just T10: T10 - Technical Committee 10  "

Unfortunately you should be a member of T10 to get access to many
documents, MMC-2 is one of them...

But there is free access for example to some implementation notes on
T10:

OHCI specification is little bit unclear in the case of root hub port
registers - some values are there marked "Implementation Specific" and
there is not clear for me if any OHCI HC must support any combination of
powering or not.
