in System.map I found the following:

c12bfc30 b __log_buf

I am not sure how to properly map this address when I know that kernel
is loaded at 0x80008000

At the end of long output I see the following:

??, er/arm/linux.c:238: atag: 0x88000000, 90, edfe0dd0, ?
loader/arm/linux.c:246: Kernel at: 0x80008000
loader/arm/linux.c:184: linux_args: 'BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/linux.vmx
plymouth.enable=0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 rootfstype=ramfs showopts'
loader/arm/linux.c:199: Initrd @ 0x8800b000-0x8acfe33c

loader/arm/linux.c:255: FDT @ 0x0x88000000
loader/arm/linux.c:267: Jumping to Linux...

It seems that grub starts the kernel. I also checked that fdt fits
into 0xb000 bytes.

earlycon=uart8250,0x44e09000,115200n8

mmio mode prints the single one character '['
mmio32 mode prints some garbage
mmio32be prints one space character.

It takes about 60 seconds, so it is watchdog most likely.
