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.

v2:
- As suggested by Sudarsana Reddy Kalluru, do not call bnx2x_del_all_vlans() at
  all if (!CHIP_IS_E1x(bp)).
v1:
- Check for chip num instead of (vlan_obj->delete_all != 0).
v0:
- Patch introduced.
