So it is the same bug. Broken since 5.11. This revert fixes it in 5.11:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2021-February/298531.html

Added some debug printks to nouveau_bo_sync_for_device:
[ 22.225048] ttm_dma=fc33b500
[ 22.225066] ttm_dma->num_pages=18
[ 22.225071] i=0 num_pages=16
[ 22.225077] ttm_dma->dma_address=00000000
[ 22.225094] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000

So ttm->dma_address is NULL.
