Missing 'Coverity issue:' tag:
app/testpmd: fix null pointer dereferencing issue
As there is no Coverity issue tag for this bug, then best not to mention
Coverity in the commit message.
An explanation of the fix should be added to the commit message.
How the bug was found is not relevant to the commit message.
Otherwise
