That's probably because for most of the entities it's a bit unclear
which function should be assigned.

ipu[12]_csi[01]_mux are video multiplexers, so MEDIA_ENT_F_VID_MUX. I
thought those should already be set correctly in the video-mux driver.

ipu[12]_csi[01] are the interfaces to the outside parallel busses, but
they can also 'downscale' by skipping, skip frames and pack or expand
pixels from the bus into the internal FIFOs that lead to the next
element. These are not MEDIA_ENT_F_VID_IF_BRIDGE, are they?

ipu[12]_vdic are mainly deinterlacers, so a new function
MEDIA_ENT_F_PROC_VIDEO_DEINTERLACER ? These entities could also be used
as composers in a mem2mem scenario (MEDIA_ENT_F_PROC_VIDEO_COMPOSER ?),
but this is currently not supported.

ipu[12]_ic_prp is just a tee element that feeds both ipu[12]_ic_prpenc
and ipu[12]_ic_prpvf. These are both scalers and colorspace converters.
MEDIA_ENT_F_PROC_VIDEO_SCALER ?
MEDIA_ENT_F_PROC_VIDEO_PIXEL_ENC_CONV ?

"ipu[12]_csi[01] capture" are the DMA elements writing to memory, so
MEDIA_ENT_F_PROC_VIDEO_PIXEL_FORMATTER ?
