So, looks like there's a problem in cache_leaves_are_shared() which is hit
by the above path. Both of the if clauses are false, and the function falls
through to return sib_leaf->fw_token == this_leaf->fw_token;
Both sib_leaf & this_leaf seem to be null.

static inline bool cache_leaves_are_shared(struct cacheinfo *this_leaf,
					   struct cacheinfo *sib_leaf)
{
	/*
	 * For non DT/ACPI systems, assume unique level 1 caches,
	 * system-wide shared caches for all other levels. This will be used
	 * only if arch specific code has not populated shared_cpu_map
	 */
	if (!(IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF) || IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ACPI)))
		return !(this_leaf->level == 1);

	if ((sib_leaf->attributes & CACHE_ID) &&
	    (this_leaf->attributes & CACHE_ID))
		return sib_leaf->id == this_leaf->id;

	return sib_leaf->fw_token == this_leaf->fw_token;
}

Any ideas what to look at next?
