If we provide voltage constraints, the regulator core will enable the regulator
and set its voltage at boot. That seems like a bit of a waste.

I don't think the voltage really matters, since nothing is plugged in to the
port. ALDO1 can't go over 3.3V anyway, so even if it does get turned on for some
reason, nothing will get damaged.
