right - my question was how does the user know which pad is which. I
see that the imx6q.dtsi makes it clear that port0 (sink1) is the mipi
port and port1 is the parallel port (sink2). Do you know how a user
would determine this from runtime information (maybe something via
media-ctl or /sys/class/media that I haven't yet found) or perhaps
this is to be taken care of by documentation or referring to the dts?

Yes - that makes it much easier to understand the possible links.
I notice 'media-ctl --print-topology' shows link and pad type fields,
but 'media-ctl --print-dot' does not include the pad type field (maybe
newer versions do or will in the future)
Do you know how one goes about determining the possible format types
possible for each pad?

Your updated imx.rst makes it very clear - I was misunderstanding the
pervious version and comments as it skipped setting the pad field
types.
The v4l-utils-1.10 from Ubuntu 16.04 allows setting field types with
the links so I didn't need to build a newer one and this did resolve
my issue.

I now have dts patches ready for the following which have an on-board
ADV7180 SD capture on:
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6dl-gw52xx.dts
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6dl-gw53xx.dts
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6dl-gw54xx.dts
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q-gw52xx.dts
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q-gw53xx.dts
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q-gw54xx.dts
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-gw51xx.dtsi
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-gw553x.dtsi
So for the above which I've tested with the 'sensor -> ipu_csi_mux ->
ipu_csi -> ipu_smfc -> ipu_ic_prpvf -> camif' pipeline
