I didn't manage to dump the register but I did go in and turn vcc3v0 and
vcc3v3 to regulator-always-on and added another change from the
ntc-gr8-crumb dts file to couple the two 3v3 regulators.

With those changes to the regulators I no longer get the messages about
the 3v0 being disabled but I still get the timeouts.
