Set apply_uV in hte constraints.  The regulator framework won't touch
the hardware unless explicitly told to.

Why do you wish to do this?  In general this is not a good sign.  There
is the virtual consumer but that is explicitly intended for test, it's
not really supposed to be used in production.
