It's also not correct, since the outermost constraint remains 6 after
the patch, so the if/else should reduce the constraints, rather than
increase it as is done here.

I think it should be a standalone patch too, since it is a fix for the
existing mcp9600 device rather than something for the mcp9601 device
that is being added by this patch...

As is this, which is codifying the existing restriction rather than
being something new as 0x03 is what THERMOCOUPLE_TYPE_K is defined to
be.
