Side note: the traces might be more legible if you have debug info in
the kernel, and run the dmesg through the script in

  scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh

which should give line numbers and inlining information.

That often makes it much easier to see which access it is that hits a
NULL pointer dereference.

On x86-64, generally just decode the instruction stream, and look at
the instruction patterns and try to figure out where an oops is coming
from, but that's much less useful on arm64 (partly because I'm not as
used to it, but because the arm64 oopses don't print out much of the
instructions so there's often little to go by).
