No, it does not complain about a NULL pointer dereference but rather a
member access within NULL pointer.

# ./scripts/faddr2line vmlinux acpi_tb_create_local_fadt+0x104/0x6ec
acpi_tb_create_local_fadt+0x104/0x6ec:
acpi_tb_convert_fadt at drivers/acpi/acpica/tbfadt.c:459
(inlined by) acpi_tb_create_local_fadt at drivers/acpi/acpica/tbfadt.c:388

Clang would report several of those,

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA6078C3-3489-40E4-B756-A0AF6DB3A3A5@lca.pw/

There are many examples how to "fix" those.

$ git log  --oneline --grep='member access within null pointer'

Anyway, this line,

        if (acpi_gbl_FADT.header.length <= ACPI_FADT_V2_SIZE) {

acpi_gbl_FADT was defined in,

.//include/acpi/acpixf.h:266:ACPI_GLOBAL(struct acpi_table_fadt, acpi_gbl_FADT);

#ifdef DEFINE_ACPI_GLOBALS
