I should learn to read the questions more carefully before answering -_-
In the code you commented out, fd.Type() is a pointer type, so the zero
value of a pointer type is a nil pointer.
If you do fd.Type().Elem() it gives you the "dereferenced" type of the
value.
So, maybe you want:
v = reflect.Zero(fd.Type().Elem()).Interface()
