in my case probe (mtk_iommu_probe_device called from 
__iommu_probe_device) is failing due to fwspec missing and then 
dev_iommu_free/iommu_fwspec_free is called, later 
iommu_group_remove_device with group=NULL

i think i've found problem:

iommu_probe_device:
     group = iommu_group_get(dev);
     if (!group) { //group is checked here for NULL but accessed later
         ret = -ENODEV;
         goto err_release; <<<
     }
err_release:<<<
     iommu_release_device(dev);

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void iommu_release_device(struct device *dev)
{
...
     iommu_group_remove_device(dev);

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void iommu_group_remove_device(struct device *dev)
{
     struct iommu_group *group = dev->iommu_group;
     struct group_device *tmp_device, *device = NULL;
...
     dev_info(dev, "Removing from iommu group %d\n", group->id); //crash 
as group is NULL and not checked
