Quick and Dirty userspace testing of regulator with virtual consumer

-
Writing a driver for a new regulator is usually fun, until you need to test the darned thing. Many of the users of the regulator is probably not yet ready in an development environment and need to test cant wait. I had recently a similar situation and found CONFIG_REGULATOR_VIRTUAL_CONSUMER You'd probably register and provide and regulator supply, but without a driver using it in a controlled environment (read shell script or so), it is hard to poke holes completely into your driver.
