I have tried removing both "regulator-boot-on" and "regulator-always-on".

After one boot to userspace (where the display didn't work correctly)
the device now seems to not power up at all. Even u-boot is failing to
start. I'm not sure if the regulators are now in some strange state or
if something is fried.

I'm currently waiting for the battery to discharge to see if that helps.
