I think you are out of luck.  SATA isn't subject to human installers 
punching down connections backwards like Ethernet is.  I doubt there is 
any perceived market need to handle PCB design errors. I am pretty sure 
that polarity sensing / flipping is not available on  SiliconImage 
parts.  I doubt it is available on anyone else's.
