I had this by testing this series: 
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mediatek/list/?series=515129

Initialization in mtk driver was failed (i guess the iommu group was not yet created), cleanup was started and so this function is called with a NULL group pointer. I can try to find my debug-trace if you need a kind of backtrace.
