According to what you pasted below, this is a source->source link,
which you don't need as you already have
"'tda9887':1->'adv7180 2-0020':0"
enabled and immutable (I would question the immutable, but that's ok
for now)

 - entity 80: adv7180 2-0020 (2 pads, 5 links)
              type V4L2 subdev subtype Decoder flags 0
              device node name /dev/v4l-subdev11
 pad0: Sink
 [fmt:UYVY8_2X8/720x240@1001/30000 field:alternate colorspace:smpte170m]
 <- "ipu1_csi0_mux":4 []                  <--- THIS shouldn't be here
 -> "ipu1_csi0_mux":4 []                  <--- THIS shouldn't be here
 <- "tda9887":1 [ENABLED,IMMUTABLE]
 pad1: Source
 [fmt:UYVY8_2X8/720x240@1001/30000 field:alternate colorspace:smpte170m]
 -> "tda9887":1 []                  <--- THIS shouldn't be here
 <- "tda9887":1 []                  <--- THIS shouldn't be here

 - entity 83: tda9887 (2 pads, 3 links)
              type V4L2 subdev subtype Unknown flags 0
 pad0: Sink
 pad1: Source

 -> "adv7180 2-0020":1 []                  <--- THIS shouldn't be here

So fix your DTS, or your parsing routines, the media graph should look
like

 - entity 80: adv7180 2-0020 (2 pads, 5 links)
              type V4L2 subdev subtype Decoder flags 0
              device node name /dev/v4l-subdev11
 pad0: Sink
 [fmt:UYVY8_2X8/720x240@1001/30000 field:alternate colorspace:smpte170m]
 <- "tda9887":1 [ENABLED,IMMUTABLE]
 pad1: Source
 [fmt:UYVY8_2X8/720x240@1001/30000 field:alternate colorspace:smpte170m]
 -> "ipu1_csi0_mux":4 []

 - entity 83: tda9887 (2 pads, 3 links)
              type V4L2 subdev subtype Unknown flags 0
 pad0: Sink
 pad1: Source
 -> "adv7180 2-0020":0 [ENABLED,IMMUTABLE]
