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: 04f05230c5c13 ("bnx2x: Remove configured vlans as part of unload sequence.")

v1:
- Check for chip num instead of (vlan_obj->delete_all != 0).
v0:
- Patch introduced.

Thanks a lot for root-causing the issue and the patch.
Another (simpler) way to address this would be to invoke bnx2x_del_all_vlans() only for the newer chips, e.g., 
+       if (!CHIP_IS_E1(bp)) {
	/* Remove all currently configured VLANs */
               rc = bnx2x_del_all_vlans(bp);
               if (rc < 0)
                       BNX2X_ERR("Failed to delete all VLANs\n");
+       }
Could you please check on this?
