NULL pointer dereference in qla24xx_abort_command, kernel 4.19.98 (Debian)

Hello,
a couple of days after upgrading a server from Debian 9 (kernel 4.9.210-1)
to 10 (kernel 4.19.98), qla2xxx crashed, along with mysql.

There is an EMC CX3 array connected through the fibre-channel adapter.
No errors are present in EMC event log.

This server was running without any problems since Debian 4.
Is this a known bug?
