ATA spec says "The device shall return command aborted if the device
does not support the Power Management feature set." Whereas TEST UNIT
READY is required for SCSI. It seems the SAT authors didn't consider
this case.

I assume we can tell from the identify data that the device doesn't
support power management and just fake success for TEST UNIT READY in
this case?
