No.

You must use a non-spinpolarized version of the XC-potential, eg. switch 2
(Hedin-Lundquist) instead of 5 in case.in0.

Then the full spin-polarization will come from LDA-U(HMF).

PS: Do you know WHY you want to use this ? It is not the recommended way
and if I would be your referee I would querry the reason for this unusual
choice.
