(I've no access to a ThunderX. I just looked for my own curiosity.
Sorry if this is obvious and so is noise.)

When I looked at the code it appeared to be the last "->" in
the following that was dereferencing the nullptr value (via [x8]
in assembler notation):

static uint64_t
its_cmd_prepare(struct its_cmd *cmd, struct its_cmd_desc *desc)
{
        uint64_t target;
        uint8_t cmd_type;
        u_int size;

        cmd_type = desc->cmd_type;
        target = ITS_TARGET_NONE;

        switch (cmd_type) {
        case ITS_CMD_MOVI:      /* Move interrupt ID to another collection */
                target = desc->cmd_desc_movi.col->col_target;
. . .

In other words: it appeared to me that the above desc->cmd_desc_movi.col
evaluated as 0 when used in what was reported.
