To clarify, are you saying nothing above this line gets printed? Because
the part of the log you've posted in the picture is pretty much
unworkable:

[   99.375389] [<bf0dc56c>] (bcm2835_spi_shutdown [spi_bcm2835]) from [<c0863ca0>] (platform_drv_shutdown+0x2c/0x30)

How do you access the device's serial console? Use a program with a
scrollback buffer like GNU screen or something.
