This happened when I tried to boot normal Fedora 29 system with latest
available kernel (from fedora rawhide, plus some unrelated custom
patches):

After some investigation I figured out that recently added cleanup code
tries to call VLAN filtering de-initialization function which exist only
for newer hardware. Corresponding function pointer is not
set (== 0) for older hardware, namely these chips:
#define CHIP_NUM_57710 0x164e
#define CHIP_NUM_57711 0x164f
#define CHIP_NUM_57711E 0x1650
And I have one of those in my test system:
Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries NetXtreme II BCM57711E 10-Gigabit PCIe [14e4:1650]
Function bnx2x_init_vlan_mac_fp_objs() from
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_cmn.h decides whether to
initialize relevant pointers in bnx2x_sp_objs.vlan_obj or not.
This regression was introduced after v4.20-rc7, and still exists in v4.20
release.
Fixes: 04f05230c5 ("bnx2x: Remove configured vlans as part of unload sequence.")
